Key: UP, optimal Slow Slight Loss Excess Loss Down Restored Alarm DNS Fail 


19-Feb-2012
06:42	 New system built, tested, all data migrated from old system.
	 Old system mail system stopped, all mail moved to new system.
	 Old system taken out of service, new system brought online.
	 System back up 06:49am. 8 minutes downtime sunday morning.

18-Feb-2012
16:00    Estimated time only. Hoping to have hardware ready to replace
         failing drive subsystem. Hoping for less than 1hr downtime.
         Will advise more when details available/confirmed.

17-Feb-2012
18:00    Authentication and mail server stopped responding again.
         Cause is a failing drive array. Replacement parts being prepared.

17-Feb-2012
06:18    Our authentication and mail server stopped responding.
         Remote restart has the system back online. Cause being investigated.

23-Jan-2012
22:00	 We're moving the last 3 servers from the old rack at GS, to the
	 new racks from 10pm, 23-Jan-2012. Downtime is not expected to be
	 more than an hour for each server, and should be considerably
	 less. During this time, various functions will be unavailable.
	 Authentication, mail, websites, DNS etc. Most operations should
	 failover to other servers (like DNS) or only be down for fairly
	 short times (hopefully less than 30 minutes).
	 syd3: down 21:38   up 22:25  (47 mins)
	 syd2: down 22:29   up 22:52  (23 mins)
	 syd1: down 23:22   up 23:39  (17 mins)

15-Nov-2011
20:31	 Server power restored. All services back on-line.
	 
15-Nov-2011
19:41	 Our primary sydney server has gone unresponsive. Engineer has been
	 called and is on the way to investigate. Mail, many users websites
	 and authentication affected. ETR unknown until problem identified.
	
07-Oct-2011
17:35	 A technician working on an adjacent machine in our rack appears to
	 have caught a cable as he was leaving at 16:27, taking our primary
	 authentication and mail server down. Friday afternoon, Sydney CBD,
	 takes time to get someone back, but all restored 17:35.

31-Jul-2011
08:21	 All adsl and dialup services dropped. 20% immediately reconnected
	 but the remaining services were not restored until 8:50. The cause
	 was Ericsson/Redback engineers performing upgrades to the main LNS
	 made an error resulting in no authentications being possible.
	 (They were not supposed to be working on it at this time anyway)
	 Investigations and preventive measures are underway.

21-Jul-2011
17:30    We are expecting a 5-minute outage at 17:30 today for engineers to
	 install new core routing infrastructure at the datacentre.
         
14-Jul-2011
10:17	 There has been a major power problem at the GlobalSwitch data centre
	 resulting in thousands of servers, switches and routers losing power.
	 Partial restoration was achieved in 20 minutes, but it took until
	 11:07 for all our power to be restored and all services back online.

11-Jun-2011
18:45    Between 18:45 and 18:47 our primary mail and authentication server had
	 a hard drive failure. Our primary onsite engineer left yesterday for
         urgent work in Hong Kong, our secondary engineer was in Albury to see
         me, it took 90 minutes for the next-in-line to get to the datacentre.
         Services restored at 20:38. During the outage, no mail could be sent or
         received, dialup users could not authenticate and various other systems
         may have been slow or inoperable.
         
16-Mar-2011
20:28    Shortly after 18:59:57 tonight our main authentication server locked up.
	        System admin was able to identify the problem remotely, but took until
         20:18 to get an engineer to the data-centre to resolve the problem.
         Dial-in users will have been unable to connect. All users will have been
         unable collect email during this time.
         
01-Mar-2011
04:00   About 80% of our adsl users lost connectivity between 04:00 and 04:23 
	this morning. Issue being investigated, but it appears to be un-notified
	work being performed by telstra. (Issue affected several other ISPs but
        at different times this morning)
         
22-Feb-2011
19:56   A tech doing some routine maintenance work at the data centre in
	Sydney inadvertently installed a faulty cable between two core routers.
	It failed in a manner that was undetected by the automatic backup link
	and required an engineer to attend the site. Services restored 21:20
	(Remedial work on the failover to prevent a repeat being done 23-Feb)
