Recently Resolved Incidents
Banksia – one of two tape copies unavailable (at risk) The Banksia service is currently in a degraded, “at risk” state as it is operating with only one tape library instead of the standard two. As a result, the secondary copy of files will be unavailable for staging or archiving until Library 2 is restored to service. The primary copy is still available for all data so this should not impact the service. If you experience any issues accessing data please let us know at [email protected]
The issue has been traced to a faulty tape drive in DBA 5. To resolve this, the field engineer will remove the drives from the DBA, replace the faulty unit, and reseat all components. Since DBA 5 is currently blocked, DBA 6 will need to be removed first to allow access for the repair work. This work will take some time but the engineer indicates that in the worst case it will take until Tuesday but they are hoping for resolution today.
