electricity.

Sounds repetitive, I know. Apparently it's down hard, and isn't coming back up happily.

And I thought I didn't have anything to do tonight...

Uninteruptable Power Supply.

Come on people this isn't rocket science.

power out for four plus hours

UPS means you have time to shut it down cleanly, so it will come back up after.

If it was shut down cleanly and it's just not comming back up that's one thing (and entirely excuseable) but "it's down hard" implies that the machine lost power in a way that did not allow a clean shutdown.

I will owe an appology if it was on a UPS (that worked) and was shut down cleanly. If not then my criticism stands.

Bailey talked about it in camarilla... I'm no techie, but his explaination might make more sense to you. :)

If the power goes out that often, maybe a generator should be considered?

[delwin]

Not cost effective outside a NOC. You'd need a working UPS to keep the servers up until the generator can kick in (up to a minute even for the best of generators) and this assumes that whatever power outage there was didn't knock out the routers or the line that that T-1 is on.

Not trying to fault people for the outage, crap happens, but the server not comming back up... that needs to be addressed.

Well it's a day later

[harolds_life]

any news on when the server might be up?
