All Read SOH Hard Drive

[Ickie]

As of today our main Hard Drive is going bad, I got the warning today,

The following warning/error was logged by the smartd daemon:
Device: /dev/sda [SAT], FAILED SMART self-check. BACK UP DATA NOW!
For details see host's SYSLOG.

and the "Smart One's" looked into my warning and confirmed it, tomorrow I will request data center for another drive, once it is in, then we will go down for about 1-2 days to clone it.

Ickie,

Out of interest, what's the size of SOH stored info, and/or the archives?

Is there any possibility of having a RAID 1 system, so that we always have a back-up drive? Or again is it down to cost?

Thanks and good luck with the cloning.

I just bought a Dell 2950 server with 2-quad core processors running 2.83 GHz with 6-300 GB SAS 15,000 RPM hard drives, I just got the trays and HD's on Saturday and haven't fired it up yet. This will come online later this year and will be the future of SOH.
Right now I am only concerned with our current server and it's health.

Wanna hear something better, lol ....Dangerous Dave also bought the same model server for the dot net site
so as you see our future is well thought out. I had the seller of the hard drives send him 2 also.

Surprised that there's not more data than that? But with a good old Dell server and a RAID system, certainly good news for the future (no one wants to go back to the dark days of 2005!).

Is the .net domain and server going to act as a back-up, or will both .com and .net be independant and run thier own RAID systems?

[Ickie]

A request for a new hard drive has just been made, later today we will go down for 1 day maybe.

as to the hard drive size I got 8-300 GB drives cheaper than 1 TB drive, upgrades will also come as needed on the 2 servers. The servers will be independent of each other

I have my medication now, so you can take the site down for up to 48 hours. Any time after that, I'll need to go get more. Good luck!

I finally got things all set up and shortly a new drive will be installed.
I will turn off the forums while data will be transfering to the new HD

the backup that was made is now being transfered to our dot net server so until monday we might see thing running a little slower, it is nice having a backup to the backup
