Re: [Outages] Outages have an Outage? (fwd)

Lightning storm, subsequent commercial power failure. UPS not up due to restructing. We are working on getting backup servers alive, as to DNS we used to secondary at vixie's, but due to IP changes and movements removed that for now. A comedy of mistakes. Details below. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 21:18:45 +0000 From: Randy Vaughn <rvaughn(a)amigostecnicos.net> To: Jason Iannone <jason.iannone(a)gmail.com> Cc: outages(a)isotf.org Subject: Re: [Outages] Outages have an Outage? Hi Jason et al! The rack restructuring was only able to proceed as far as one rack and did not make to the point of attaching the isotf server to a UPS. As luck has it, our provider's location lost commercial power this morning. The remainder of the rack restructuring will be announced once we have a firm timeline established for that activity. On a slightly different matter. I appreciate the problems caused by high list volume. Digest mode is one potential solution, list moderation is another.

Outages list info

The outages list is at isotf.org, right? I had not yet gotten around to signing up and a couple of messages here prompted me to take a look. Assuming the links I see for isotf.org are correct, someone might want to notify the list about an outage: $ dig +trace isotf.org mx ; <<>> DiG 9.2.8 <<>> +trace isotf.org mx ;; global options: printcmd . 424771 IN NS M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS H.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS I.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS J.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS K.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. . 424771 IN NS L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. ;; Received 304 bytes from 216.180.54.2#53(216.180.54.2) in 2 ms org. 172800 IN NS TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET. org. 172800 IN NS TLD1.ULTRADNS.NET. org. 172800 IN NS B0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.org. org. 172800 IN NS A0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.INFO. org. 172800 IN NS C0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.INFO. org. 172800 IN NS D0.ORG.AFILIAS-NST.org. ;; Received 417 bytes from 202.12.27.33#53(M.ROOT-SERVERS.NET) in 206 ms isotf.org. 86400 IN NS ns2.amigostecnicos.net. isotf.org. 86400 IN NS ns.amigostecnicos.net. ;; Received 80 bytes from 204.74.113.1#53(TLD2.ULTRADNS.NET) in 32 ms ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached $ host ns.amigostecnicos.net. ns.amigostecnicos.net has address 209.151.108.152 $ host ns2.amigostecnicos.net. ns2.amigostecnicos.net has address 209.151.108.152 $ Somebody might want to read up on nameserver diversity. -- Chris Adams <cmadams(a)hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Thanks for the feedback, but this is not the case. The problem has been identified to be extraordinarily site specific. I'm attempting to follow the recommendations of members that mailed me off list one at a time, and am proceeding with testing. It would be of great value if other mail admins who are running Qmail that have a few minutes could contact me off list in order to compare some quick test results/config setups. Steve

AOL Instant Messenger
by Johnson, Joe 17 Jun '08

Is anyone else seeing issues with AOL Instant Messenger? Personally, my PC logged out for 10-15 minutes this morning and came right back, but my home PC and the desktops of many employees have intermittent issues (some have been unable to connect since 9:15 am CDT). Their site is less than helpful, but the user forums at aim.com show others having minor to major issues connecting. Thanks! Joe Johnson Senior Systems Engineer InnerWorkings, Inc.

Re: Cable Colors
by Martin Hannigan 17 Jun '08

This seems like a good demarcation for the colors, but two things. Its a bit more expensive, and, it typically makes for a pretty mess. You're talking pre determined cable lengths for the most part. I tend to avoid patch cables like the plague and invest in long term deployments cut to length. Intelligently strapping in mostly permanent wiring should be worth the investment and reduce outages in the long run. The colors don't hurt.

I'm sure others use entirely different choices. Owen
