Hello,

We have scheduled a drive swap on pathfinder for tonight, Oct 28, at 23:00 CDT. The expected downtime is 20-30 minutes assuming everything goes well. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this maintenance is necessary to ensure further reliability of the server.

Hello,
Unfortunately, there appears to be an issue with another drive on this server and in order to prevent any data loss we have been forced to place this server in maintenance mode. We do not have an ETA on the completion of this process so please stay tuned for updates. Thank you for your patience during this time.

We have brought this server out of maintenance mode; however, there is still some work to be done with the RAID array. We will continue to work on any issues that may come up and will update this forum if any further downtime is required.

Hello,

All data on pathfinder has been synched to the new chassis, we are now stopping services to finish the synch as soon as this is complete we will turn on all services on the new server. We apologize for this down time but it's crucial to ensure data integrity. We will update this forum post once this has completed.

[GatorTWhite]

Our apologies for the delayed update. The sync has completed and the server is now back online. Thank you again for your patience.

Hello,

We just wanted to update you that a new synch has been started to ensure that all the newest data is on the new box. We'll update you when this has completed. Until then apache service will be down on the box.

This server is coming down in order to upgrade the RAM. This process should only take a few moment. After the RAM is upgraded we will need to perform one more sync in order to verify that we have all data in place. Thank you for your patience.
