When: Tonight Tue March 18th @ 21:00 hours
What: Disk replacement in shared server bors.blacknight.ie, the spare in the Raid 1 mirror failed last night so we’re going to swap it out tonight. This machine does not have hot swap drives so we need to take it down for the change over.
This will take between 15 minutes and 1 hour to complete, please also note that performance will be degraded today and tonight post the swap out until the raid array returns to normal.
Summary: @ 21:00 tonight Tue March 18th the server hosting server bors will be taken offline for between 15 minutes and 1 hour while we replace a dead drive.
Update @ 21:48:
The disk has been replaced, the raid array is now rebuilding and the server is backup. It’ll be a little slow for a couple of horus until the array is completely rebuilt.
