Imagevenue Problem solved

Description: A power failure occurred in a redundant pair of Powerware UPS units feeding power to section B of the DLLSTX2 datacenter. The power failure was caused by a faulty fuse in UPS unit B-1. As the load transferred to UPS unit B-2, the spike in the load created an overloaded breaker and UPS B2 also lost power. This resulted in a power outage to the main power distribution unit feeding section B of the datacenter floor. Emergency teams were notified and the power was restored. The power continued to cycle due to the faulty fuse and the inability of the redundant UPS units to remain in bypass mode. Customers may have noticed several power cycles during this time period. Powerware, JT Packard, and electricians found the problem and replaced the faulty hardware and fuses. All electrical service was restored to normal and the NOC team began to bring all servers back online. The technical staff is currently placing a console on all servers to verify server restarts. Customers with operating systems that require a file check may have experienced extended downtime during the file check. Powerware and JT Packard will continue to monitor the UPS systems for the next 24 to 48 hours. The Planet does not anticipate any further outages.

 

I am an electrician and i understood all that.

Yeah right. LOL

 

Yeah, I can't understand why they'd give such a big explaination. More likely a tech fucked up and accidently stopped something but they are blaming power on it.

Anyhow, 2 UPS's, one blew a fuse and failed(*NB), other one overloaded and cut out.

(*NB) In my experience with electronics and electrical engineering, fuses don't just blow, something causes them to blow (faulty equipment, failing components, ground leakage etc) and generally, replacing the fuse doesn't fix the fault (they generally blow again) so I call bullshit, but alas, who cares

 

I'm just telling you what I know. I dunno anything about it. If I was smart enough to have a real job then maybe I could put in my 2 cents

 

I understood majority of it as I did I did some electrical training. But I agree with maddhatter, fuses just don't blow for no reason and it sounds like a big load of bullshit.

 

Yeah I just posted what was sent to me I dunno anything about it

 

I wasn't saying you were bullshitting, I was saying that Imagevenue are bullshitting.

 

i know
