The SQLite website is back up after being down all day due to a power supply failure at a data center. Sorry for the inconvenience. For those who are curious, the a detailed description of the data center's problem is reproduced below:
> Location: DLLSTX2 > Severity: Level 5 > Description: > At 4:09AM CST, a power failure occurred in a redundant pair of Powerware UPS > units feeding power to section B of the DLLSTX2 datacenter. The power failure > was caused by a faulty fuse in UPS unit B-1. As the load transferred to UPS > unit B-2, the spike in the load created an overloaded breaker and UPS B2 also > lost power. This resulted in a power outage to the main power distribution > unit feeding section B of the datacenter floor. Emergency teams were notified > and the power was restored within 20 minutes. The power continued to cycle > until 6:45AM due to the faulty fuse and the inability of the redundant UPS > units to remain in bypass mode. Customers may have noticed several power > cycles during this time period. Powerware, JT Packard, and electricians found > the problem and replaced the faulty hardware and fuses. At 6:45AM, all > electrical > service was restored to normal and the NOC team began to bring all servers > back online. The technical staff is currently placing a console on all > servers > to verify server restarts. Customers with operating systems that require a > file > check may have experienced extended downtime during the file check. Powerware > and JT Packard will continue to monitor the UPS systems for the next 24 to 48 > hours. The Planet does not anticipate any further outages. > Note that even though the management at The Planet claims that all power was restored by 6:45 AM, in fact the server that hosts www.sqlite.org did not receive power until about 12:30 PM. -- D.
