FQuest Alert: NINE

[Paul]

We are aware of the problem with server NINE, TeRRa has a replacement server built and is headed to the NOC to do a total switchout. An update will be forthcoming from TeRRa as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you..

Thank goodness -- getting panic stricken here as I am unable to reach my two main sites. Thanks for the heads up.

NINE finally took a nose dive tonight as I was doing a standard reboot to bring the new kernel online...
Upon bootup, the BMC controller on the motherboard failed to recognize the SCSI drives as valid bootable drives and fell back to DHCP style bootup - which goes absolutely nowhere...
I have been working on a replacement server for NINE since the last lockup, and I _was_ going to schedule the downtime later this week...[nbsp][nbsp]NINE had other ideas, so I siezed the moment and went through with the conversion...

Everything should be back up now and working properly...[nbsp][nbsp]I hope that this full replacement will have rock-solid stability, as I have tortured this new box and it has worked without fail...[nbsp][nbsp]The true test will be the wrath of NINE...

Our apologies for the inconvience this downtime has caused you...
