Message

We have been alerted to a failed hard disk on one of our linux shared hosting nodes PEMVZMPS16. To ensure the RAID becomes full optimal asap we are going to replace this disk tonight at 9PM.

What's affected?
Two linux shared hosting web servers are located on this node. They are:
  • 81.17.254.74    pemlinweb15.blacknight.com
  • 81.17.254.75    pemlinweb16.blacknight.com 
What sort of downtime is to be expected
The plan is to bring the server offline, replace the disk, boot it back up and then let the RAID resync itself.

The downtime will be in the timeframe of 15 minutes, but we are going to schedule a window of one hour.

When is this happening ?
The downtime will occur tonight 26th of August 2010 at 21:00 hours.

Once the maintenance is complete we'll update this blog post.
 
UPDATE 21:08 - The disk change is complete and the server is now back online.
