My lunchtime doctor appointment looks to have expanded somewhat into me getting a CT scan. Given the wait times, I look to be out of the office for the afternoon (though I'm going to swing by and grab my iPad to be somewhat productive while I'm waiting). -- Craig (from my mobile)

outage post mortem
by Dan Olson 25 May '12

25 May '12

So it turns out we were getting correctable memory errors in this server for some time. Our normal monitoring didn't catch it, even though these messages were going to syslog. I assume the system panic happened due to an uncorrectable bit error. I would think the superdoctor software may have, and would definitely catch bad power supplies and fans, so I plan on getting that up and running, and adding a rule to our syslog server for EDAC errors. We need to take that server down soon to replace the bad dimm. I'll look around and see if I can find a spare on hand. We would need 30 minutes of downtime. I'll formulate a plan to do this with the least disruption. We can take a look at hot migrating the VMs that are the most visible, but I would like to test that strategy first. I'll send out an action plan early next week. ---- Daniel Murphy-Olson Systems Administrator Mathematics & Computer Science Division Argonne National Laboratory 630-252-0055

I am leaving at 2:30 tomorrow so that I can attend Nicolette's graduation. Yes, she is actually graduating and I am not in jail for killing this child (yet!!). So we cannot be happier in my house... Happy long weekend! T
