[FQuest Notice] Community Server: ASUKA maintenance

What: Remove problematic hard drives
When: 6/11/2016 (Friday night)
Window: 12am to 6am

ASUKA has a problematic hard drive that will intermittently fail to boot correctly forcing us to use an awkward technique to perform the initial bootstrap...

We have already hot-added two new drives, and all data has been (transparently) moved to the new drives... To fully test these new drives, we will need to power it down and pull the old drives and shift the new drives into the proper physical bay sequence...

This shouldn't take very long and we expect the downtime to be 10 minutes or less...

We are currently working on ASUKA and it is being very stubborn... It is offline for a BIOS reflash to see if we can get the LSI controller to play nice...

Ok - ASUKA:1, Techs:0

ASUKA decided not to cooperate and we'll have to defer to our server vendor for any insight as to why the LSI controller is not hooking interrupt 19 even though everything in the BIOS is set properly...
