DESCRIPTION
Due to the recent outages we are needing to investigate in more detail some of our network infrastructure. We are planning to do this from 2AM on Thursday 17th September, and plan to complete the work by 5AM. So as to fully understand and fix the cause of some of our recent problems we may cause some disruption to services. There may be line drops and short periods where there may be limited connectivity. We will attempt to keep this to a minimum, and will update this post throughout the period.
Resolution: This work has been completed. There are a couple of outstanding things we still need to work on, but on the whole this has been successful. The main thing being the reboot of a core switch which has fixed most of the problems we've had recently.

Datacentre Power

Aug 21, 10:00 PM (1 month ago)
DESCRIPTION

One of our London datacentres is planning maintenance on the power feeds that supply one of our racks. This work involves transferring our power feeds to new new electrical infrastructure and will mean we lose one of our power feeds at a time whilst they do that.

We have two power feeds and they will be moved over one at a time. There should be no customer impact as most of our equipment use both power feeds, but this is a period of "at risk".

The work will happen during Sunday 6th September.

Resolution: CANCELLED: Datacentre say: Due to the power outage encountered at LD8 on Tuesday 18th August, we migrated all remaining customer supplies on to the new infrastructure. As this task has now been completed, the CMR is no longer required and was therefore cancelled.

DESCRIPTION

Due to the power outage at Harbour Exchange https://aastatus.net/36892; many broadband circuits were moved to other LNSs.

Now that service has been restored, we need to re-balance sessions over all available LNSs to reduce possible congestion issues.

Over the next 2 hours we will be clearing sessions that are currently on the wrong LNS.

Downtime should be minimal. We apologise for the inconvenience.
