Small interruptions to APE at L48 Sky Tower over the next week
by Simon Blake 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi all Most affected parties should already be aware, but I'll repeat it here in case the change control messages didn't get to the right people - we're replacing gear on L48 over the next week. Between 12:01 and 6:00 on Thursday 28 through Dec 5, (excluding Saturday and Sunday morning), there will likely be short interruptions to every connection to the Citylink cabinet on L48.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes.

An explanation of what went wrong at Mayoral Drive on 4/11
by Matthew Poole 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

ComputerWorld article. http://s0.tx.co.nz/at/tep34n279457j138688i194855f2c4680224a4t9s4z During testing a UPS failed to start a generator, then its batteries went flat and the systems it was feeding had to be restarted. Fire and Police were hit hard because they'd only very recently consolidated to a single database from three region-based ones, and hadn't had a DR drill (one was planned) so it was the first time they'd actually done a cut-over. That sod Murphy strikes again! -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force. Get a bigger hammer."

Interesting that there was a similar power-related failure of emergency systems in the South Island a few days after this incident. And that a similar incident occurred at the Telecom Dunedin exchange about 6 months ago (UPS test, generator started, sparked, caused a fire, fire happened to be in same room as mains cutover switch...UPS ran flat.)

One would HOPE that they'd have engineers on-site for testing of critical components. Still, this is far more of an explanation that I'd ever expected to be given! -- Matthew Poole "Don't use force.
