power outage at Stanford--some server rooms down

Post by kasson »

Stanford's main power plant is currently offline (perhaps due to flooding--we're having unusually heavy rains this morning). Some of our server rooms are affected. We're assessing the situation and doing our best to maintain maximal server availability. Please bear with us.

Power and cooling are mostly restored; one of the major server rooms is still down. We're waiting for an update from the admins who take care of it.

Our remaining server room has come back online and we are currently restarting servers. Most servers should return to normal operation shortly. Thanks for your patience.

Lightning caused power outage at Stanford

Power restored at Stanford's core campus
Lightning struck PG&E's transmission facility, took out power until 10 a.m.

Edit by Mod: Post merged.
. . . and then the servers have to be brought on-line in a systematic way . . . and then the servers have to cope with the backlog that accumulated during the outage.
