The entire EMU campus experienced a 35 minute power outage this morning. All systems in the Data Center were supported by UPS and progressed through orderly shut-downs. Telephone switch was taken down manually. All systems restarted without incident. A few non-critical omissions were found in several startup configs. These were corrected.

While recovering from a power failure a circuit breaker tripped which feeds power to the wiring closet next to ADCP. This affected the entire 2nd and 3rd floor of the campus center due the way the fiber cable runs.

FS crashed at 100 CPU utilization.

Server power off, vrepair and reboot was required

FS server LDAP process abended due to outlook problem. Server “FS” had to be rebooted to correct the problem.

5 Hr FS crashed – could be because of NWFTPD

On FS Novell server the LDAP process abended. The server was able to be easily rebooted.

LDAP unavailable – 25 minutes
Total down time – 10 minutes

ST server keep locking up due to Timesync problems. Had to bring the server up in debug mode and manually remove NTP configuration.

Maintenance outage for all servers. Extended outage for Novell servers. Install new directory services, create system recovery images, update all disk and array drivers.

There was a problem with the connection to the IEP switch. It was traced to an unplugged power supply to one of the 100 meg media converters/switches in the Data Center.

The Novell NDS (Netware Directory Services) data base has not been performing correctly since the Service Pack 3 installation on 1/5/2002. A consultant was hired to assist with debugging the issues on 1/22. Progress was made but users encountered failed logins regularly while the debugging work was performed from 1/22 – 1/24.
