Che'_Moderator Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Looks like a drive or controller has failed on the server. It will be coming down to replace it shortly. No idea on downtime as I am not sure whats wrong yet. What sucks is wastin time and money on this server when we are getting s new one. Whats good is we are getting a new one.

Adam Franke Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 So, is there some like monkey or something hidden around that just hops out at random times and causes you problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGEElectrical issues, and other things can cause it but in this case I am calking it up to age. Even if its not I don't really care. I am working on getting the new server up ASAP. In Feb this server will be in service for 3 years. In that time the hard drives have only stopped during crashes. Granted some drives have been replaced when the RAID failed a few months ago.

I don't know where you work, but that usually flies.Three years seems like a long time for a server, especially one as busy as this! I usually replace my computer every year and a half or so...

Che'_Moderator Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 A drive has indeed failed. The board will be running on and off through out the day while I back up everything yet again. Should go quick though and we were planning to move soon anyways.
