This extreme weather outage is over.

It has been a while, okay a long time, but easing back into it.

Thanks Dave for keeping everything up and running.

[AMDave]

My pleasure.
No really.
I got 3 primes early on.
None since then, but that's ok because they were good ones
Great to see your post.

Threw in a new case fan as one of them was an ex-parrot.

5 hour unplanned outage due to electrical storm activity
server is now back to normal operations

[AMDave]

The FDCPS server will be intermittently unavailable for up to the next 3 hours during planned maintenance.

[AMDave]

planned outage is complete.
it took a little bit longer to tidy up some config items.
The server is a little bit quicker at everything now.

[AMDave]

FDCPS server is down due to an unplanned lightning strike which has upset more than just a few electrons.
Tomorrow I'll migrate the services to another machine, then see if I can recover the hardware.
ITMT - apologies for the outage.
