Webserver Being Replaced tonight at 2-3 am Jan 26

[rknight111]

We have experienced some issues with the webserver and we are up on a temporary server for the day. The server will be down for an upgrade at 2:00 am till about 3:00 am Mtn time. We will be replacing the server with a new bigger server as well. With some more redundant hardware as well.

Thanks for your understanding with this issue.

If any one is capable of doing it, it would be that hairy bagger. Lol.

Its a PCI solid state drive issue. They originally thought it failed on Sunday, then to find another issue and thought a reboot would fix it. Which it did, the loads were high, way higher than ever. When they got to be too much the server shut down the drive and then we get the error.

Now, they managed to get the website data restored without going to the backups from Sunday. We have the data on a temp SAS drive which is slower, until a decision is made. So its been made already, we are upgrading to a Fusion I/O Solid state drive and a completely new server. We are going up to the top server we can get without going two a single server just for the data. This will increase performance quite a bit.

is the new fusion inhibitor running off of empties and left over garlic toast? and more importantly what is the SFRR, (solar flare resistance rating).

I stood on the bridge trying to decide if life without S&M was worth it. Thank goodness it came back.

Good thing there are lots of Youtube videos to temporarily fill the gap... I can watch Cory Micku over and over and over and over and over......... and over and over..... and over....

Oh dear lord Ron we can't have you being responsible for the lack of direction for the masses, for god sake do what you need to as Holmes puts it "make it right" Please?

The new sever is setup but we are not using yet. I have to go in and try out the site. if there are no issues we will make the transfer early in the morning.

Its looks like the server is ready to go. And booked for replacement at 2 am MST - or 4 am EST. So it will go down in the wee hours of the morning and will come back on the new server and fusion solid state drives.

Re: Webserver Being Replaced tonight at 2-3 am Jan 27

We are up and running on the new server. There may be some small bugs but most are fixed and we are running smooth. If you notice any issues please post them. Thanks.

Had S&M at work yesterday (Red Deer)...but at home (Penhold) it is still down. Any ideas? Tried two different computers and different browsers. (Chrome and Explorer)...site not found. Our provider at home is Telus....not sure about work.

Re: Webserver Being Replaced tonight at 2-3 am Jan 27

Telus may have it blocked again. This has happened in the past. If you can forward me your IP address I will double check. This was an issue a year or two back.
