Okay good news and bad news.

The good news is the original machine has been outfitted with new hardware and is ready to take these drives and raid array back.

The bad news of course is we have to take thie servers offline to do it. We expect about 30 minutes for this changeout. We are going to do this tonight at 2 am.

This should clear up some of the load issues, and get us heading on the right track again. The machine running now is much less powerful than the orignal machine and it was the closest thing we had on hand that could be used as an emergency machine to keep your sites up why we took the original down for diagnosis and hardware replacement.

The way this has been going so far I would expect 1 hour of downtime where there are no services at all. If things go well it should be only 30 mins or so.

We will update you as services return to normal.
