Will post more about cause when we know more.
Apparently an 800-amp breaker in the main PDU failed.
The database servers are currently starting up; this takes a little while, but
hopefully should be all done within the hour.
I thought each db server was on a UPS? If not, then why not? I also thought we had the
capability
to go read only from the other server farms when the Tampa farm went down. If not, then
why not?
We are a top 20 website that makes more than enough money to hire enough people to make
sure
services decay gracefully and to make sure we have adequate redundancy. I'm working on
the current
year budget. Please start thinking about your staffing and equipment needs for the rest of
the
year.
