Well, that was a pretty short shutdown, eh? The guy at the ISP was able to figure out how to mute the alarm. He's going to also keep the front door of the cabinet open and put a box fan in front of it. One of the alarms was complaining about temperature. We're thinking that the box's complaint is not that a power supply had failed but that one was getting too hot. I had him reboot the webservers anyway because of minor problems I'd seen with them. After we've all migrated over to the new system and it's stable (can pretty much guarantee it won't be the minute we move and we may even have a few false starts), and have gotten to the point that none of the current version's equipment is needed anymore, we're going to do a weekend move of all of iHub's and SI's equipment to a new Class A facility they have in Kansas City that'll also give me 24/7 keycard access without having to wake one of them up. The down side is that the equipment will be a little over an hour away from me instead of the current 40 minutes. But as infrequently as I need to visit it, that shouldn't be a big issue. And you know I'm a geek because the part I like best about the move is that, since we're standardized on Dell hardware, I'll be moving all of the equipment into a single Dell cabinet with rails on all the machines for easier work when needed, and all the UPS and cooling overkill I can muster.
