DRIVE RECOVERY STATUS
The recovered drive assets have been fully copied back over to the new asset servers without further NIC driver weirdness.
ASSET SERVER STATUS
Now that the recovery loading is done, tickets are open with the data center to reconfigure the underlying network connectivity to finish the asset server cluster setup.
We had to hold off reconfiguration until the asset recovery from drives were complete to avoid possible outage during the loading.
OSGRID RESTART
Still no ETA yet, sorry! Getting closer, step by step, though! Keep checking this space!
OSGRID RESTRUCTURING
Background discussions on OSG restructuring and service changes continue but no definite plans. Other than removing the jump regions, most discussions revolve around changing how existing spaces are managed, with an eye to consolidation and some modernization, rather than something more drastic.
More news here once plans are definitive.
SPECIAL THANKS
OSgrid would like to offer thanks to everyone such as Melanie, Justin, Diva, our supporters, and everyone who has gotten behind OSgrid during this catastrophe.
The assistance, the patience, and the good wishes are all very much the rays of light we need to keep pushing forward in an otherwise very awful time.
Thank you all! Next Update 2015-02-22 or 23
