11/23/2015 16:45 Down again? UP 1322 28 Nov 2105!

[OlderThanDirt]

Yeah it looks to be something big, CGN, Geo/ProfEdge and a couple other sites I know are hosted there are down.

Perhaps Geovario should pay their electric bill?

[Kestryll]

It's not back but there is progress!
I can now log in to the server control panel, I can't get to the file server yet but it's better than 'page doesn't exist'.
 

[760Practicalshooter]

I like Turkeys.

[Son]

I like Turkeys.

I like cattle....and hogs...and fowl...and, and, and....well you get the idea.
 

And Kes, thanks for trying your best to get the site back up.  Even though most (including me) make jokes about it, we do appreciate your hard work.
:thumbsup:

[Satex]

The updates on GeoVario's main page aren't encouraging.  It seems like they have experienced their own Pearl Harbor day.

[Blunorthern]

Kes....go do the Thanksgiving thing with the family....most of us will survive another day or 2 without the site being up.

Agreed.

[cdtx2001]

Gathering with family and friends is much more important than a website.

I'll find out about all the latest gossip tomorrow.

Y'all have a great Thanksgiving, I'm off to go start cooking the feast.

Enjoy Family time,
Thanks for the time you put into keeping things running.
But higher power is saying you need family time

I have to agree too.

Unfortunately as you are seeing this page, you have come during the time of the worst hardware failure in our company's history.

The website you are expecting, or the email account you were trying to reach went offline at roughly 4:45pm PST 11/23/2015; after we experienced a cascade hardware problem that affected our Storage Area Network disk arrays.

At this time, all static files, email accounts and most of our web and application servers are offline, database servers were not affected, but without application and web servers the content is not reachable - we are actively working to restore service, however between expiditing replacement parts and time to restore from backups we are expecting services to restore by roughly 6am PST, November 26th.

We are very aware this has been a huge problem for everyone, we apologize greatly and continue to work to restore service as quickly as possible.

UPDATES: 2:00pm PST 11/25/2015 - all failed hardware has been replaced and all logical data has finished restore process. NameServer (DNS) services are restored. As name servers were needed for the WebSites that were not affected, some sites are back online, however all email is still OFFLINE.

CRITICAL!!!: 6:48pm PST 11/25/2015 - a time drift/snapshot bug in the various backups has made full recovery impossible. We highly suggest if you are using an email client such as Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.. that you use the "Local Folders", "Personal Folders", etc.. to make a copy of any EMAIL in your IMAP inbox. A large number of existing emails in the IMAP inboxes have been affected by the outage, and as email is not something that we do daily backups of - we can not restore any email in your inbox. Please create a "Local or Personal Folder" and drag and drop all email from your IMAP inbox into a local folder stored on your machine. NOTE if you use POP3 you should already be storing data locally on your machine, and no action is required.

UPDATES: 11:30pm PST 11/25/2015 - integrity checks of the restored storage snapshots are still running, and still finding lots of errors due to the time drift of the snapshots. We suggest you locate copies of the static files (pictures, app software, etc) as you may need to re-upload some content to the webservers. Again - the database servers are not affected at all - so all posts, messages, purchase history, etc.. are not affected, but the forum software, or uploaded images may be affected - we'll know more once the integrity checks finish.

UPDATES: 4:00am PST 11/26/2016 - integrity checks finished - which ended up producing more questions as to how we arrived where we are; in short we have unusable backups, lots of filesystem corruption, and now sets of servers that even though they can now access working hardware refused to run at speeds faster than a computer from the late 1960s . As we have already been planning the next phase of our services to be built using Amazon AWS Cloud Servers, we have spun up several servers there and are moving critical services there as quickly as possible. We hate to say it - but you likely won't have your website back in the next 2 hours - unless you already have your site back now. Next update will be at 12 noon PST.

No Bueno my friends. No Bueno at all.

There is no question in my mind that this problem was brewing for possibly several weeks. Meaning at least one drive was failing somewhat and according to what I remember reading considering the heat issues, it was just a matter of time unfortunately. Certainly not blaming anyone. Just very unfortunate. I noticed the site being slow for at least one week prior to the crash. It could have been coincidental.
