Server Update

[inaki]

Soo another day done on the server. The consistancy check completed, but the data volumes wouldn't mount. We're going to have to do some data recovery measures. For now, we're bringing the server back up on a new drive system. We're going to be using a Netapp drive shelf instead of an internal array. It provides much more security, better performance, support for multiple machines, and most importantly, e-mail and paging notifications of drive failures. x.x

This will also get past the space issues we had earlier. It'll eat a bit of extra rack space, but the storage scalability is well worth it. The system is much better organized now, as well. All in all, once done this'll be a pretty bitchin system.

Hey Julia! You up for recovering VMDKs off a 5 disk RAID5 volume that had two disk failures? I'm certianly open to discussions of compensation!
