DOWNTIME: Harddrive Failure on Session Database
At around 6:30 PM we had 2 harddrive failures on two different machines. We are looking into how that happened, but harddrives have been known to come in bad batches and these servers were ordered around the same time as one another.
We have recovered nearly full functionality on the primary Guild Launch site since the database server that the drives failed on only houses session data and full text search for those services. We've moved the session data to the primary Guild Launch DB server at this time.
Forum searching will be offline until the secondary DB is restored and we can reload the full text indexes.
At this time Advertising and Sigs are still down until we restore those database.
Two hard drive failures is truly a lightning strike. At this time while the downtime is very unfortunate we have enough redunancy that we are able to move services around quickly and restore service with minimal downtime.
We appreciate your patience while we get everything up to 100% and we will keep you all updated on the progress.
