We’ve been busy since the last update. The majority of our maintenance actions were completed successfully and quicker then expected. There have been a few items which did not comply with the plan for reasons which are still being discovered. At this time most of the random MySQL and (gs) Grid Container issues are resolved leaving one final issue which is BlueArc.
BlueArc engineers have been in our data center for the last 8 hours undergoing their project to upgrade three of our Titan disk systems which combined power the storage for Cluster.1 and Cluster.2 of the (gs) Grid. During the post-upgrade reboot of one of the BlueArc’s components failed (storage shelf) which kept Cluster.2 from rebooting completely. For the last several hours BlueArc has been trying to remedy the failed upgrade. We are waiting on engineering results from their team at this time.
Several engineers are currently in our El-IDC data center working all of the outstanding issues. More information should be available soon regarding the status of the failed BlueArc storage component in Cluster.2.
