Hi all,
Well not quite an intrusion but devastating none the less. Ont he 29th of
December there was a site wide power failure across the whole of RAL. This
has led to all the machines within Starlink failing.
I came in today to make some quick system checks and to change some backup
tapes and have spent the last hour trying to bring most of the system back
up again. Unfortunately it appears there are some more serious problems on
some of the systems. At the moment it appears as though Saturn has a busted
PSU. Also it look slike venus and jupiter may have some disk errors. If I
cannot bring these two machines back up neatly within the next 10 minutes, I
plan to power them off again.
I shall keep you informed as and when I have any more news.
