Some of you noticed that www.math.utah.edu was down for part of Monday.
Here is the explanation:
There was a scheduled lower-campus-wide electrical outage from 5am
to 5:30am MST Monday 20-Apr-2015. Normally, thanks to machine room
backup power, this should not impact central computer
services. Unfortunately, this time it did, taking out all power to
the backup power system, and then the entire machine room. All
computers, and network switches, ceased to function.
When power was restored, we found considerable damage from
corruption of the central network switch, to several machines that
would not power on, or it they did, would not reboot. One desktop
machine (NHFB's) had its video card destroyed, and another lost
chunks of its memory. As a result, although we got some services
restored by late morning, it was not until about 5pm that we got
all of the machines back up again.
Monday was thus a washout here, sigh...
