CCC Maintenance - Wednesday May 8 Posted by admin on 05/09/12 at 09:31am

We will be conducting very brief maintenance of the CCC database this afternoon between 12:01pm and 12:30pm. This will cause Avvantamail to be unavailable for approximately 5 minutes while we make some configuration changes. We have chosen to conduct this work mid-day rather than during our normal maintenance window to allow us to quickly identify and correct any problems that might develop as a result of the changes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

CCC and Storage Array - Update Posted by admin on 01/18/11 at 08:05pm

We have successfully completed rebuilding our secondary storage system which has been causing so many issues over the last few days. Currently the data from the primary system is now syncing with the secondary. This process is estimated to take between 12 to 16 more hours, so between 8am and Noon Wednesday morning this process should be done. Sync time varies due to system load and activity so a more accurate estimate is not available. We apologize for the frustration this repair process has caused and thank you very much for your patience. We will update this notice again when the process is completed. Update 10:00am Jan 18: This process is now complete. Issues accessing and using the CCC should now be fully resolved.

CCC Issues Posted by admin on 01/14/11 at 12:56pm

With the work done on the secondary storage array we are now conducting a rebuild of the data on that array. This requires a great deal of data transfer on the back-end servers. This data migration is causing some slowdowns and occasional timeouts on the CCC. We have done what we can to minimise this effect however we will not be able to completely prevent it from occurring. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

CCC Server Upgrades - Wed, Sept 29 Posted by admin on 09/27/10 at 03:19pm

The machines that make up the CCC cluster will be undergoing extensive operating system and software upgrades this Wednesday starting at approximately 12 Noon. Unlike normal maintenance periods this work is being conducted during the day. The CCC is such that we must know immediately if anything is not working properly so that it can be corrected (or the changes backed out) as swiftly as possible. This work has been completed. There were some issues relating to attachments as well as replying to email that have now been resolved. Thank you for your patience.

CCC Slowdowns Posted by admin on 07/23/07 at 03:40pm

A drive failed within the storage array used by the CCC. No data or mail was lost as a result. The system has built-in replacement drives within the array for just such an event, however, the system must now rebuild the data from the failed drive. The rebuild process should take approximately 6 hours. During this time the CCC will respond slower than normal and may experience timeouts or similar errors and we apologize for the inconvenience.
