avalon :: Emergency Maintenance

[GatorTWhite]

Team,

Avalon is currently down for emergency maintenance. We are working closely with our datacenter technicians to have the server back up again as soon as possible. We will update this thread with any significant progress. Thank you for your patience during this time.

The server is back up again at this time but we may need to take it down again within the next few hours if further maintenance is needed. We will update this thread again if any additional downtime is expected.

We are now taking the server down again for further maintenance. We will update this thread again once it has been completed.

We where forced to replace the RAID controller on this server and have completed this phase of the maintenance, but once we brought the server back online one of the drives on the array was no longer responding.

Avalon is currently up and serving content but will need to be brought back down for an emergency drive replacement once a new drive is procured.

We will update this thread as more information becomes available.

We are proceeding with the replacement of the drive at this time, during which the server will be rebooted. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working to get the system back on-line as soon as possible.

Hello,

Avalon is about to go down for an emergency chassis swap due to continued hardware issues. We will update you throughout the progress of the chassis swap.
