Filer and power strip maintenance tonight (Completed!)
Tonight we will be performing emergency maintenance on a filer which has started having its watchdog card reboot it every 5 hours or so, and a power strip which can no longer remotely manage.
The filer swap should only take about 15 minutes. There will be very little discernable problems unless your data is actually on there. No data should be lost.
The power strip swap will take about one hour, during which time service will be interupted for these servers:
orangey, rhubarb, socks, putney, bmw, max, calgary, barrance, cortes, twizzler, van, sipke, flower, rexford, krackel, fundip, runts, dimarco
This is all fallout from the recent power troubles. The filer is suspect, the power strip lost its management interface after one of the power blips. We apologize in advance for the downtime, however some preventative maintenance now will help prevent catastrophic failure later!

This went without a hitch. We swapped out the filer and the power strip with minimal breaking of channel nuts. All services listed should be back online. Please write in the technical support if it is not!
