Since the emergency migration of mail2 to spare hardware, we need swap out some memory for the system to ensure the best performance of the system. It was discovered that 2 of the sticks of RAM are not working, which means we have half the RAM we designated when it was built as a spare machine. This maintenance will take 10-15 minutes maximum. We apologize about the timing, but will do all to keep it and minimal as possible during this time.
 
We have it up and the RAM situation fixed, but there is an issue with the storage we are checking now. The server IS up.
 
The server is going down, when changign the memory a power lead on one fo the cables came out preventing power to HD. Replacing that power lead.
 
Server is up, very odd thing happened on the molex the power lead came out of the connector.
 
We have another problem here with RAID, and will need yet another maintenance as soon as possible.
On this RAID10 configuration, both RAID1 units are in degraded state at the moment. Only one unit it getting rebuilt, which we will allow to get done.
Only after this, we will work on replacement HD for the other degraded unit. This may cause a downtime of up to 20 minutes. We expect to go ahead with this maintenance any time after 3 AM EST.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused.
 
Coming up now, saw the new drive properly so we should begin rebuilding here shortly, while the server is running, which it will be within 3-5 min or less booting up now.

All up for a couple min now.
