Unplanned Downtime: Network Switch Failure **COMPLETE**

Post by Themicles »

Sometime over the night, or 8 port network switch failed. Each server in one room is currently an island with no network. Zeus is still up but cannot reach the database.

All servers hosted on my network are down until the network switch is replaced. New switch is acquired and I am in my way back to install it. ETA 1 to two hours before the servers are live again.

Thanks for the Swift trouble shooting and fix!
:D

Side Note, am I the only person who thought of this incident after reading that a switch failure was responsible?
