WritheM Web Solutions has been notified of an extended power outage window that will begin at 8am MTN tomorrow Friday, May 13th. This outage window will potentially last up to 7.5 hours and services hosted at our WM2-AB-CA site will be affected during the window. A maintenance window has been created and servers that are hosted on site will not be monitored for stability.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

A disk corruption error on one of our Active Directory server’s hard drives is currently being investigated. Imperium started reporting RedoLog corruption errors earlier tonight and is currently offline. No external services should be affected other than Remote Desktop services, however users may experience issues with usernames and passwords for the duration of the outage.

We are currently investigating a communication issue with our WM2-AB-CA Site. A Tech has been dispatched to investigate the source of the outage. We hope to be back on-line shortly. Servers that are affected by this outage include ludus, echelon, adamo, imperium, memoria, bluebox and offero. We apologize by this inconvenience and are working hard on this holiday day to remedy the situation as fast as possible.

Our Admin team is currently investigating an outage that has recently been reported regarding our Adamo server. This server hosts all media related services as well as acts as a media repository for the WritheM team.

Today will begin an extended outage that will pull all but the cerato server offline for at least a day. Our staff are currently migrating the server equipment from one site to another. Among other upgrades the new site is expected to much faster. Thank you for your patience during this outage.

We are installing a new router at our main Calgary Site today. This will be the first step towards migrating our primary data centre in Calgary from WM1-AB-CA to WM2-AB-CA. Next week there will be additional network outages at WM1-AB-CA as we migrate the servers and equipment to our new site. Thank you for your patience with this and we apologize for any inconveniences this will cause you.

Immediate maintenance will be performed on our Certificate Authority server. Imperium may experience intermittent issues while the maintenance is performed as several server reboots may be required. The issue has arisen that certificates without templates cannot be submitted unless submitted through the IIS Interface, which was never installed. A reconfigure of the CertAuth to allow the request of certificates via the IIS Interface will be performed.

For the next hour or so some services may fire warnings about being unavailable for short periods of time. This is incorrect as we are just upgrading the monitoring software and not the services themselves. No outages are expected during this time.

We are migrating our current Windows VMWare environment to an VMWare ESXi environment and expect major extended outages on some services. Migration will commence on the weekend of July 31st and will continue for upwards of a week for less essential services. With the exception of cerato all other servers will be replaced by a new one in the coming weeks. Click read more for more information about the migration.

UAT has been taken offline for the christmas season. As production has been rolled out successfully, the site will be used as a future development platform only. We will continue to provide a UAT environment for all future enhancement, however over the holiday change freeze we will not be needing it.

Thank you for your understanding.
