Possible outage on April 19

 * * * POSSIBLE Outage Announcement * * *


On Tuesday, April 19th between 8:00am and 4:00pm Eastern time, the data center where Litech systems are co-located will undergo repairs to the automatic transfer switches that failed last week. Since our servers do not have redundant power supplies, it is possible we will be expected to power down briefly to switch between the A and B PDUs in the rack.

As much notice as possible will be given if an outage is necessary, but it may be a matter of only a few moments. Please avoid leaving unsaved work unattended or starting long-running tasks.

Update 9:22pm: Unsurprisingly, work remains ongoing, and will continue into Wednesday. It looks increasingly likely that no outage will be necessary, as the necessary repairs may be able to be completed without a loss of power.
