Hi,
The RAL Tier1 was taken off air by a power cut this morning (Wednesday 7th November) at approximately 11:30 local time (=UTC). A number of core services are on UPS. However, the diesel generator behind the UPS failed to start up correctly resulting in a loss of all remaining services shortly afterwards.
Power was restored during the afternoon. Core internal services were re-established. The top BDII, LFC and FTS services have since been restarted. (The FTS running is running without channels to/from the RAL Tier1).
We hope to restore Castor services during tomorrow morning, although we expect some further delay restoring the tape services. Batch services will be restarted as soon as possible after Castor.
