[FQuest Alert] - EVANGELION Server

**Kevin** · 01-05-2023, 10:52 AM

The EVANGELION server stopped responding and did not respond to a remote power cycle. I rushed in expecting to find some form of broken server (hopefully just the power supply) and was rather surprised to discover that the problem was the power outlet on the PDU was not working. I moved it to another outlet and it is back up and running again. That isn't something I would normally even check. I only checked it because of how long it would take me to connect my power supply tester.

While updating our management database so the next time a remote power cycle is needed it would get the correct outlet I noticed that the circuit I essentially picked at random not expecting to actually accomplish anything is awfully close to it's maximum while the other circuit on the PDU is almost empty. So, I want to shut the server back down and move the power cable to reduce the chances of a circuit breaker trip and another rush in but with more stuff broken.

The RAID resync has 17 minutes left so I will wait for it to finish then there will be a fairly short outage.

OK, the re-plugging has been completed.
