One of FSAPPS’s hard drives failed this morning (or last night).
It is the bottom drive from the top bay. This drive is mirrored with the one above it. This is logical drive 0. Physical drive – Channel 0, ID 1.
I reseated the drive and it started the rebuild process. If it fails again when I’m not around, please replace the drive with one of our spares.
Internet service began failing at about 16:30pm. DNS requests refused by nTelos, our Internet provider. Internet failed totally at 16:55.
nTelos called back at 17:20 to say they had a major failure that required a reboot of a big router which was done about 16:55. Everything was back on-line at 17:20.
av.emu.edu, the server providing Sophos updates to the campus community, will be taken off-line for a few minutes to relocate its power cable.
The system was not available for user or administrative access, and was restarted. File system and database repair utilities were run.
The web component of the calendar server was offline for unknown reasons. When restarted the server reported no errors.
The survey/form system will be going through an upgrade process sometime between 4/29 and 5/10. Exact timing will be posted here.

The Faculty/Staff Novell server (FS) will be down for about 1 hour to install a new tape drive.
Tape drive and SCSI card were added. No power cord was available, so a “Y” adaptor was used to jumper from SCSI drive backplane to the new tape drive.
The latest NWTAPE and ADPT160M drivers were loaded.
Also took down LD and installed the new memory. It is now at 2G – which is maxed out.
