Shard down due to power outage [back up]

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Tue Jul 10, 2018 10:55 am

Power went out this morning and backup batteries ran out and my whole rack dropped hard. I'm at work so can't do anything. I'm hoping nothing got damaged in the process and will hopefully be able to bring it back up either at lunch or tonight.

EDIT: Second power outage in evening. Going down again.

Server appears back up but I will have to check when I get home.

Pole fuse blew and power went out again. On phone with Hydro. Probably going to have to shut down soon as batteries were not fully charged.

Forgot to update last night. Shard is back up. Hydro crew arrived just as I was going to start shutting stuff down then power came back.

Figured I'd update this. Turns out I had a battery with a shorted cell. That's why the UPS did not last as long as it should have. The other batteries were essentially dumping all their energy into that battery because of the voltage difference. Replaced the battery so should be good to go next time.
