Site downtime postponed 24 hours

  • Comment
The scheduled downtime for today has been postponed 24 hours until tomorrow. The server was loaded in RAID 1 but I need both drives to store all your mods so I've had to request an OS reload that will take some time to do.

Once again I plan to take the site down at 2PM GMT and have the site back up around 8PM GMT.

    SCSI > SATA

    If you'd have used SATA RAID you wouldn't have had so many memory problems.

    Did you virtualize, or opt for individual pieces of hardware?


    Eh?

    The site uses 4 different file servers that act as backups.

    Just an observation, without RAID, how are you handling drive failures? Just a simple nightly retention backup or some kind of shadowcopy?
