Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2013 13:15:15 +0000 The issue is that everything cools down after being run for so long. Bearings freeze up, electronic connectors contract, etc. And it’s not necessarily just hard drives. Cooling fans, power supplies, etc. Removing them from the chassis won’t change anything and might even make things worse. If you have to move a server, I’d keep everything in place. Again, have good backups and have a few spares handy. -Paul From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of J- P Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 8:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] RE: Week long shutdown. Maybe a better approach would be to removes the drives from all servers, and drive them down myself?

To: [email protected] I strongly agree regarding the spare drives (or at least preparations for fast acquisition). If a drive is going to fail, its during/after a large physical move. I've seen this happen many times. -- Espi On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 12:46 PM, Maglinger, Paul <[email protected]> wrote: Make sure your backups are current. Wouldn’t hurt to have some spare hard drives. We moved our corporate 7 years ago. Only lost 2 drives on separate systems. No data loss.

When we moved into our new data center in 2010 we had several drives in a few older servers and an older SAN that did not spin back up after being shut down to be moved. The equipment was only down for a couple of hours while it was moved between buildings. Those drives had been spinning continuously for several years before the move. Luckily the failed drives were in separate RAID arrays so we didn’t lose any data.

The first concern that comes to mind doesn’t involve AD, but rather that sometimes hard drives that have been spinning continuously don’t want to spin back up after they’ve cooled down. -Paul From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kennedy, Jim Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NTSysADM] Week long shutdown. We are shutting our data center down for 7 days to repair the HAVAC/Electrical systems. Long story but it needs to be done this way. Since we are a school district and it is summer we are just going to pull the plug on the network and let that summer staff fend for themselves. I have a secondary MX up with a hold and forward. There are 4 offsite DC’s that could be left running, but they will not be able to talk to each other, their connectivity is via the data center. I am thinking shut them down too. Any issues or concerns that come to mind for a week long downtime for AD? ________________________________ CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT: The information transmitted, or contained or attached to or with this Notice is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain Protected Health Information (PHI), confidential and/or privileged material.
