Past incidents
Watching
The storage pool has now been rebuilt, we are now starting to redeploy VM images, which should result in other services coming back online.
We are closely monitoring the situation.
Identified
The hard drives have now been replaced. We are in the process to rebuilding the storage pool.
This could also take some time, please be patient.
Identified
We are currently in the process of replacing the failed drives and recreating the storage pool.
Identified
We have now successfully created backups of all virtual machines and will now start to rebuild the storage of the host machine.
Identified
We are currently making sure to secure all data from the old drives so we can completely renew the faulty storage system afterwards.
Sadly we cannot tell how long this procedure will take.
Reported
We are currently having issues with failing hard drives in one one of our VM hosts.
This results in partial downtimes of some services (web, mail) as we need to replace the drives.
No incidents reported.
No incidents reported.
No incidents reported.
Fixed
We replaced the switch in CJD.
Watching
The switch went down again. We're working on a replacement device.
Fixed
The switch is running stable for a few days. We are still monitoring the situation and will probably still replace the device in the next time.
Investigating
The currently installed switch has recovered a bit (and does not reboot twice per hour anymore). Therefore, we try to sort the switch setup over the weekend* and will hopefully replace the switch in the next week*.
* Please keep in mind, that there are no guarantees for the given timeline. Delays may occure.
Investigating
We are planning to replace this switch, but are facing some crucial setup-issues (as shown in house C). We are currently working on setting up the new switch.
Reported
Due to the age of the switch in CJD, we see some stability issues. We are currently working on replacing this switch. Internet connection will suffer
WiFi Expansion in House CJD
Most of the access points were now installed and are starting up. This maintenance has now been concluded
We were finally able to find a potential cause of this issue. After deploying a fix for the already started access points in the ground floor, these seem to work correctly.
We will now try to enable further access points and will keep you updated.
We are on track with installing the new access points, but we are still facing issues regarding onboarding the access points.
We are still facing issues regarding initialization of the access points.
There are some minor update issues, which delay the access point setup.
We have installed access points in the ground and 1st floor. We are currently in the process of starting the access points.
No incidents reported.
Fixed
The problem has now also been resolved for CJD
Fixed
We were able to solve the stability issues for all houses except CJD.
Reported
Due to unforeseen problems regarding software version differences between newly installed Access Points and the controlling infrastructure, there will be some minor network stability issues in the next hours, as parts of the systems will need to be updated to a newer software version.
As most of these systems are built redundantly, there should not be major network disruptions.
The newly installed network access points in house CJD cannot be enabled until after this update.
Fixed
The switch ist operating normally again. This incident has been resolved.
Watching
Most infrastructure in house C is back online. We are monitoring the situation.
Watching
We were able to restore most of the switch system and we are currently trying to finish up.
Identified
We have replaced the broken switch but suffer some severe integration problems. We are currently debugging this problem on-site.
Identified
Due to unforeseen problems with configuring a replacement switch, we were unable to install the switch this evening. We hope to retry in the next day.
Identified
We are currently working on preparing the switch.
Identified
The switch is currently completely down. It will likely need to be replaced entirely. This will take at least one day. In addition, configuration will be necessary.
Investigating
The Problem has occured again, we are investigating.
Reported
We are experiencing problems with our network switch in House C.
No incidents reported.
