Unplanned server outage
Database maintenance - Friday 27 July 2007, 8am (previous) :: Database problems (next)
Most people on ResNet won't have noticed, but one of our servers dropped off the network at about 7pm last night due to a problem with one of it's network interfaces. Things that will have been affected include:
- Registration System
The server that fell over provides the DNS for the registration network. It's set up to redirect all requests for web pages to our registration system. Your connection will have fallen over to the secondary DNS, but the secondary isn't set up in the same way - so your web page requests won't have been diverted.If you typed in the url for the registration system directly, you will have been able to register OK. - Manage My Resnet
Bandwidth reports for last night won't have been updated. - Network Status Monitoring
The traffic lights on the ResNet home page which monitor the status of the network won't have been updated.
Normal service was resumed at 9am this morning which was the first available opportunity for me to have physical access to the server.
