Title: Log in server issues
Post by: Chunka on May 22, 2013, 06:53:38 pm
Per Rogean, EMU wide message: A hard drive has failed in the array that hosts the EQEMU websites and loginserver. It is not failed but it has caused some extreme slowness, so I will be migrating it to a new array. This will result in the website/loginserver being down for the next hour or two.

Yeah I also noticed I cannot get any pages on eqemulator.org OR project1999.org.  They must be having some serious issues...Is this being tracked anywhereonline?  I cannot seem to find much info.

The broadcast makes no sense.

If he is running a "array" of drives that are striped with parity such as raid 5 or 6 why would losing one drive in the array matter.

Losing one drive should not be a show stopper. Just buy another drive and hot swap out the bad drive for the new one.

If he lost a raid controller then that means the data on those drives are going to be worthless and data will need to be restored from backups.

If his raid controller is going bad and he wants to move the data to another array since he only has a single raid controller then that would make sense.

Guess he just wanted to keep things simple=).
