We are going to perform some urgent maintenance on unix2 at 3:45 am today, this will take around 15 mins. Server will be down during this as we will change CPU.
this maintenance is starting now, I had some delays in getting here.
I just shut down the server and stephen is working on it.
I have replaced the CPUs and the server is up.
After a number of kernel panics this was the route we decided to take, as the most common error was relating to SMP (multi processing) errors.
We replaced both CPUs with spares on hand and will be monitoring closely.
