Server downtime during Transmediale Berlin
hello sonance members,
Please excuse the temporary server downtime during the transmediale weekend. I was not in vienna, neither where my colleges who have the keys to access the serverroom. the firewall was down, cause a temporary hardware failure. The machine in front of the main parts of the serverfarm ( appart form the backupserver in graz ) was down, cause of this for one and a half days, over the last weekend.
The backup-machine was queing all mails send to you in the meantime. The queued emails where then deliverd to your mailbox after the great Franz Schaefer aka “mond” went to the serverroom sunday evening and pressed the reset button of the firewall machine.
There was nothing bad happening with data or something like this. Only a person with a key to access the room and press the button was the missing peace in the game.
Now everything is up and running again, also we got a new backup server included into the system now. The funkfeuer guys ( Andreas Marksteiner himself ) where offering us additional backup-storage in exchange to some harddisks.
Thanks to Andreas and also to yourself for beeing so patience, even if your main services was down a view hours.
greeting
binsh
