SAN Failure (Resolved) Critical

Identified
There has been a SAN RAID failure and are currently investigating. We do not have an ETA at this time. We ask all clients to be patient while we work on the problem.

Update
We are currently running DDRescue on the second failed drive, we're not sure how long this will take but are hopeful it will be done within a couple of hours. This mirrors the failed drive sector by sector onto a new drive, which we should then be able to replace into the RAID array recovering it to degraded status, at which time it should be active and able to rebuild to it's mirror.

Resolved
We successfully copied all data from the second failed drive to a fresh drive, then rebuilt the array. The SAN is back online and all VPSs have been restarted. We apologise for this outage and hope it hasn't inconvenienced our clients. This was a unique situation with two drives that relied on each other failing within 30 minutes (while the rebuild after the first failure was occurring), thankfully we had previously been assured that if this happened data should still be recoverable as SSDs tend to fail on write rather than read.

Server Performance Upgrade (Resolved) Medium
  • 17/04/2015 20:00 - 17/04/2015 20:30

Server will be undergoing a scheduled performance maintenance to improve website loading times. Websites will be temporarily unavailable with brief periods of downtime.

We don't expect this to take long, hopefully under 30 minutes with only a few minutes of downtime.

We will be doing softare upgrades/patches to improve server performances.

Today at 4PM - 4.30PM (EST) we will be uprading our billing portal to the latest version. This is to fix multiple issues within the system that are not functioning properly due to the current version we are using.

During this period of time, you will not be able to log into your account. Downtime will be kept to a minimum if possible.
