Power feed lost

Publicado el lunes 15 marzo 2010, a 17:21 UTC

We lost one of our power feed (out of 2) in our rack.

Everything is up and running but only half of our web servers are up, websites might be slower ;-)

Redundant hardware and software tricks saved us this time ;)

Edit: Power feed recovered, everything is running back at full speed.

Network outage on secondary services

Publicado el lunes 26 octubre 2009, a 01:13 UTC

Hi,

Woa, a long time without news just happened ;)

Not so important but all secondary services (MX2, NS2, and so on) including this website were down for about a day due to a major network outage of the operator who is kindly hosting this server.

Wish them luck and a pleasant week start ;)

Hi,

We are still damned, but this is less annoying than storage issues ;-)

Anyway, everything is up by now, please bear with us.

Main storage server replacement

Publicado el martes 16 junio 2009, a 15:17 UTC

We are currently working on the replacement of our main storage server in the hope of fixing hardware problems (see older news).

All services are now unavailable. We do our best to make everything up as soon as possible !

Your admins

Edit: everything is up. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Main storage server oops

Publicado el lunes 8 junio 2009, a 22:28 UTC

Hi, apparently, we didn't manage to fix our main file server. After changing the motherboard and the memory, it worked fine for almost two weeks before hanging.

We will have to wait tomorrow morning before being able to reboot it.

Sorry about that folks.

Memory upgrade on main storage server

Publicado el miércoles 27 mayo 2009, a 10:09 UTC

A memory upgrade is planned this afternoon (UTC) on our main file server.

All services will be interrupted for some minutes.

We should perform a file system check this night (around midnight UTC), which will also cause service interruption.

We'll keep you informed.

Your admins

Edit: done!

phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin upgraded

Publicado el jueves 21 mayo 2009, a 00:09 UTC

Hi,

So this time this is a good news, WE KID YOU NOT.

Yes, this is not a very important news, we agree, but this is quite pleasant to add something other than yet another f*cking hardware failure.

So, phpMyAdmin and phpPgAdmin were upgraded today ! We are confident that it will change your life !

Hardware replacement in progress

Publicado el viernes 15 mayo 2009, a 10:26 UTC

Hi,

We are currently replacing the hardware failing part of our main storage server.

Stay tuned ;-)

Edit: done!

Edit: We are going to move back to the primary storage array very soon, stay tuned ;-)

Edit: done!, everything should be back online

Emergency maintenance planned

Publicado el lunes 4 mayo 2009, a 10:19 UTC

Hi,

We finished the investigation about the hardware issue on the main storage server, but we still need to check some hardware components separately to find which is the responsible. We will shutdown almost all services from time to time during this afternoon in order to do that.

Please bear with us.
