Database crash
Posted: 22 Feb 07 9:07 PM (N/A) Modified By Freddie  on 2/22/2007 9:08:23 PM)

We had a short power failure here today and the database server refused to come back afterwards. After several attempts it finally started and we are back online. When trying to reconnect, it turned out that our internet router had completely died. Fortunately I had just bought a new one last week-end because I didn't trust the one I had anymore

But I was not prepared to have to set up a new router and all the routes and policies today, it was planned for next week-end. But now it is up and running again

The database server will be replaced next weekend with a more reliable device - it is also already here because I didn't trust the old machine anymore - isn't intuition a cool thing ?

Sorry to everybody who experienced problems connecting to the site today. Please be warned that there might be some short downtimes during next week-end when the database is migrated to the new server.It should only be a question of a few minutes a couple of times

Everybody please cross your fingers for me - migrating a database server is not something you want to do for fun, especially not when the contents of several entire portal sites are stored on it

OK, the new server is installed and running - currently applying all the security updates required.

To do :

1. Install database server and apply updates
2. Perform a (hopefully) last backup of the old database server
3. Restore the backup on the new server
4. Redirect all portals and applications to point to the new database server - hope they will all accept talking to somebody new
5. Take the old database server offline
6. Inform about the success here

Hmm, 1) and 2) are completed but I cannot seem to perform the restore. I will probably have to RTFM
