And again …

Another problem yesterday (18th May) took parts of the service off-line again. This time the power went off when an engineer fell off a ladder onto the UPS unit providing power to the suite in which our kit resides. Although power was restored relatively quickly as were some services, disk / file-system corruption hampered reboots on other machines. That said pretty much everything was back on-line within around 70 minutes so generally the outage would have been noticed between 12 noon and ~1pm. Hopefully we’ve now filled our quota of bad luck for this decade …
