Who
Yup they down. ilo down too. Grab the pitch forks
Same here. I'm getting reports from routers way outside the Delimiter network that my IP is unreachable, so I'm guessing it's a problem with a bad BGP announcement.
http://delimiterstatus.com/ reports problems with Atlanta's networking too, but no further details
Gotta be BGP. Can't get anywhere near their network. Hopefully its not another Power Outage type situation...
I still have at least half of that case of popcorn left.
In fact, BRB...
i think it may be more than pl.....
I am greateful I get off from them months ago
It's back up
yup back up now. whew
@anton000 was it a network or power outage?
My server was power cycled, back up for 26 minutes. MySql is now refusing to start... yippie.
My network still down
Mine too
Anyone want to jump in for a refugee offer? @VortexMagnus?
Ofcourse it was power related... what else would it be at Delimiter:
We had a major power outage here last night in Georgia it was statewide for majority.
Severe thunderstorm and it was really bad lol. Trees fell down and such. Swanee(another power company here) had outages everywhere.
Do I understand it correctly and they had two seperate generator arrays that failed? Or did they only have one?
How many arrays do DC's normally have? Just a question I ask myself.
I think the first one was in a DC they owned.
**** (you know who) was somehow able to change refugee offers from 'hey let me help those poor customers out' into something ugly that resembled kicking people when they were down.
"Building managed generators" = "hopefully the shared generators for the building work"
Check with your DC to make sure they either own the building they are in or they are the master tenant and test and operate the switchboards and generators.
This line just makes me unsure if they had two separate generator arrays:
And I wasnt particularly interested in any specific DC. Just wondering how many generators are standard in one.
Some buildings with 4 or 5 utility feeds near a couple power plants are fine for decades with a single genset, or maybe no gensets in a few special locations.
Most buildings will want an array or 2 or more gensets for redundancy.
This is one of those things though, where 'we have generator power' can look a lot different when you ask your provider to provide specs, diagrams and test reports.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_center#Data_Center_Levels_and_Tiers
Datacenters are rated by tiers, 1 to 4. Tier 4 (the best) means everything is redundant, and they do mean everything - power, cooling, lights, security lights in the parking lot, datacenter staff, alerting systems, feeds from multiple different power and network providers, etc.
And a link from two separate power grids operated by two separate companies. So unfair this can't be done in the UK (National Grid)
The need for multiple utility feeds is hyped anyway - a solid generator system should negate the need for multiple utility feeds.
Maybe it's just coming from a medical background. I've came to have no faith in generators.
It's totally amazing how many ways they can fail.
I've seen this fail time, and time again. Hell, in 4 datacenters I was in (and only two I worked at).
Then you didn't have a solid generator system..
Not strictly true. But soo hard to achieve its financially unviable.
