June 2008 Archives

Summary: On Sunday morning next @ 02:00 am one of our Fibre providers (Auroa) are carrying out maintenance on the backup ring that they provide to us.This will be a total cut of the fibre while they replace several joins to make them more flexible. During this 8 hour window our traffic will be on our primary link which does not go near the affected physical area and the route is direct to DEG.

If we do experience an outage on our primary ring due to this window, we've a tertiary path that we may use and this should automatically failover.

Any questions please address them to our technical team https://support.blacknight.ie/

update: Sunday June 22 @ 10:10am

This upgrade was successful, Aurora report that circa 04:30 they completed the work on the fibre that our CWDM ring runs over. We got the all clear at 10am to confirm the fibre was back in the man hole and that the window was completed successfully with no snags.


The shared hosting server Morgana is currently not responding. It is being rebooted, and we waiting for it to come back up.

This post will be updated when we find out what caused the issue.

Update: The server is back up and we are now investigating to see what caused the issue.

Our billing site will be down tonight at 8pm for routine maintenance. This should take less than a hour while we test to make sure that everything is back up and running correctly.

We will not be able to accept any orders during this period.

Update: The maintenance has been completed successfully, and billing should be back up now.
