The main server that supports the IETF has had a disk failure that caused the server to malfunction. The server was unreachable since around 1:00 am ET this morning. The server is now up and running, but it is still performing a rebuild of its RAID array. As a result, performance on this machine will be very slow for the next hour or two. The server is in need of a memory upgrade as well. Even after the RAID repair is complete, this server will still see some slow and sluggish behavior until the memory is upgraded. A memory upgrade has been attempted once before; however, the first attempt failed. We will be shutting this machine down again on Friday morning at 6:00 am ET for repairs. At that time we will be adding an extra hard disk to act as a fail-over for any future disk problems. We will also be upgrading the firmware on the RAID and memory controllers. This firmware upgrade should lessen the possibility of future problems occurring. Finally, we will also add 2GB of system memory to try to alleviate some of the slowness this server has been experiencing lately. Thank you for your patience.
