We would like to announce that we have scheduled hardware maintenance on server 35. In the next 2 days, the three hard drives on server 35 will be replaced with new ones. This will lead to 3 instances of temporary service interruption of 30-40 minutes.
The hard drive replacement procedure will be the following:
1. The server will be shut down.
2. One of the 3 hard drives will be removed.
3. A new replacement hard drive will be installed.
4. The server will be rebooted
5. The server RAID will be rebuilt.
The procedure will be repeated 3 times until all of the hard drives on the server have been replaced with new ones.
The purpose of this scheduled maintenance procedure is to avoid any possibility for repeating of the RAID issues that happened with server 36 since it appears that the hard drives installed on servers 35 and 36 are not fully compatible with the chipset used on these servers, which has led to the RAID issues on server 36.
