Subject: Why Oceania fell over & what our fate is.... Author: Darkstone News [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Sun, Feb 23 2003, 05:09pm In reply to: Darkstone News 's message, "FYI - Shard Outages...****& SHARD REVERT***" on Sat, Feb 22 2003, 07:12pm From uo.com forums by Fertbert- Server Programmer, Ultima Online.... We're sorry that Oceania's emergency maintenance took such a long time. Here's what happened: while reverting the most recent Age of Shadows publish one of the servers (in this case I'm referring to hardware) in Oceania's cluster completely failed, and we had to reconfigure Oceania to compensate.... said reconfiguration and the subsequent verification take much longer than a normal publish. Thank you for your generous patience, Fertbert ****************************************************** & later.... I just helped Oceania restart itself... it was "looping" on startup... which is to say that it kept running into the same problem and starting over from scratch. What triggered this looping was one of the remaining machines in the cluster spontaneously rebooting due to a memory related error. I would not be surprised if it were a direct result of the increased memory consumption caused by reconfiguring the shard to run without the machine that died early this morning. The good news is one of our System Administrators is already en-route to that part of the world with a planned stop-over at Oceania's colocation facility about 24 hours from now... the bad news is that he is not there at this very moment, so we may continue to have some problems with Oceania until he is able to make the hardware play nice again. Sorry we can't get this fixed sooner, Fertbert . [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
