Server 14 is showing a degraded RAID array caused by a failed drive. We have swapped the failed drive but it is failing to rebuild.
We need to take the server off line to perform some emergency maintenance. Our senior systems administrator will begin this work at 11pm UK time so the server will be taken off line within 30 minutes of that time.
We will update this announcement as the work progresses and assure you this is unavoidable as we cannot have a production server on line for any prolonged time with a failed drive as were the second drive in the pair to fail there would be 100% data loss.
We thank you for understanding and we trust you appreciate this server has been on line for 18 months with zero hardware issues to date.
