This morning I came into work and found that I had issues with my sipXecs instance. Here are the symptoms:
- Web admin / user portal down - All phones not registered to sipXecs - sipXecs not registered to ITSP - sipXecs machine responds to ping - sipXecs machine is accessible through putty I rebooted the machine and noticed that the XFS service failed to start up. I figured it might be a hardware failure, so I grabbed a known working backup and restored it on my backup machine. This backup is a disk image, not a sipXecs backup. I have tested this procedure a number of times in the past (even with the same backup) and it has always worked as expected. This time, however, I ran into the exact same symptoms as I did with the primary machine. Based on this, the chances that it's a hardware issue are low (same symptoms with two different machines). The only thing that I could think of is that it had something to do with the date and time. So I set the date in the bios to a day after the backup was created, restored the backup again and voila, it worked! Once I set the date back to the current date, the problem happened again. My sipXecs reboots once a week Monday mornings, so the date in question was likely sometime between June 18th and 25th. I am using sipXecs 4.2.0. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? Since it's date related, I was thinking that maybe it could be a virus that's dormant until a certain date? I did a search, but didn't find anything that sounded like it could be related. I'm not too familiar with viruses on Linux (or with Linux itself).
