MSSQL5 maintenance window Saturday May 26th 11:30PM-11:45PM

[Stephen]

We will be performing a brief maintenance on MSSQL5 on Saturday May 26th between 11:30PM and 11:45PM EDT.

the heatsink is not working as well as it should(its designed with fins turned wrong way for this 1u case) and we need to replace the heatsink. The temperatures are not extreme, and it is not an emergency concern, however for the long term it needs to be replaced for proper airflow and ventilation. This maintenance will require a brief shutdown, changing of the CPU heatsink, and then turned back on, we will work to make it as short as possible.

I lost track of time, and had an issue with my keys.

This maintenance is happening in 10 minutes from now due to the delay.

 

[Stephen]

MSSQL5 is now up. Heatsink changed, maintenance complete.

MSSQL came up for a moment and went down. I am checking it further

 

[Stephen]

it is getting an error with the tempdb, I am working to resolve this now.

 

[Stephen]

recovered the tempdb error and now getting a stack dump. I am here working on this at top priority.

 

[Stephen]

I am having to work with some databases in single user mode to get to the bottom of this

 

[Stephen]

I am manually restoring a number of databases to the backups made moments before the restart.

I am on the phone now with MS Business Critical phone support.
