Anyone having a problem with iserves email ? I use D2S, and can't login at all, and I haven't received any emails since about 4pm.

I phoned orcon about it, but they say that all their staff have gone home for the day, and it can't be looked at until tomorrow, which I think is poor for a business quality service. They also don't have any emergency support for outages after hours I was told.

Well ...
If there is an issue with the platform as a whole then it should be escalated to the oncall engineer, of course there is one, it would be crazy if we didnt.
If its a single user issue then sure it would be raised as a support ticket for tomorrow.

We generally have engineers around until 5pm, having said that a ticket coming in at 4pm may not even get seen before 5 depending on what is happening/being worked on.

Hi Paul , I will PM you details, but lets just say that the person I spoke to didn't check whether it was a widespread problem or not, which I believe it was with the D2S platform

Unfortunately all iserve websites look to be down at the moment, but this time email is up.

I can't log into the control panel to TXT gold support to lodge an emergency support ticket, as that is down too.

Checking to see if an engineer is already working on the issue.

OK well its a comms fail for us:(
Looks like we failed to get a planned work notice out on the network status page.
We are doing a storage migration for iServe from 23:00 to 02:00 this will impact php4/5 and HMC

Sorry it should have been up there as planned work.

Hi Paul

I can see it is down again, and was down a few nights ago too. But there is still no announcement on the orcon news page about these outages. I do host some of my clients websites on these servers and there has been a huge amount of downtime lately, and it doesn't reflect well when their websites are down.

:( more fail, sorry.

We have been doing a major storage migration for iserve, all of the work should have been notified.
I was off ill yesterday so didnt get a chance to follow up again.

There is more work today to enable quota's on the new storage, there is not expected to be any outage as its not a restart but may mean quota enforcement comes in to play.
We have engineers watching things as this is done so we can be on top of any issues.

I will get a notice up if this is not already displayed (havent looked yet)
