Hosted projects,
We were made aware this afternoon that one of the two UPS systems in our datacenter has failed and is currently in permanent bypass mode. While utility power continues to flow through the unit, the battery backup is unavailable.
In the event of a utility power outage in Corvallis, all power demands will shift to UPS 1. This could potentially overwhelm UPS 1 because it would need to support a doubled power load.
Please be aware that due to the age of the failed UPS, replacement parts are not available, and the duration of this issue is unknown. We are working on options to address the situation and will provide updates as they become available.
We have powered off all non-essential systems that we can, however if there are any physical (not virtual) machines you do not need powered on, please let us know and we’ll help you power them down. This will help lessen the possibility of overloading UPS 1.
Thanks for your support!
