Incident Report #20 - Geeksnet Website Down

12:00 PM - It was reported that our webpage was not available to the Internet. We determined it was a problem with the Cold Fusion Server software which our site uses to dynamically build our front page. No other sites or services were affected by this failure. This is the second incident involving this software package.

1:00 PM - After extensive troubleshooting of the problem we decided to upgrade this software to the latest version. This upgrade required several reboots of the server causing all of the sites we host to be unavailable intermittently for several minutes at a time.

3:00 PM - New software installation is completed and configured. Software is tested and passes. Geeksnet front page is restored and service returns to normal.

Incident Report #20 - Power Outage in Winterville area

10:10 AM - Power was lost to the Winterville area where our store is located. Approximately 30% of the equipment for our ISP is located at this store. This is the third occurrence of power loss in 3 months.

10:20 AM - Battery backup power was exhausted so all systems at our Winterville location were shutdown. This stopped all mail services, web hosting, and dial-up authentication. Users already connected to our service were still able to browse the Internet.

10:25 AM - Power was restored to the Winterville area.

10:30 AM - All systems were brought back up and service was restored. We have devised a plan to limit the effect of a power loss in the Winterville area on our dial-up service and should be implementing it within 2 months.

Incident Report #19 - PRI failure at Greenville POP

3:30 PM - Busy signals were reported by several users for our Greenville dial-up number. Upon checking the equipment it was found that two sets of modems were not functioning. The failure on one card was caused by a PRI failure at Sprint. The second modem was not accepting calls resulting from a separate equipment failure at Sprint. Some users may experience busy signals through the afternoon until the phone company can repair their equipment.

5:15 PM - Sprint notified us that the the problems had been resolved, the cards were reseated, and the lines came back up. Users immediately began using the lines. We will continue to monitor our equipment and apologize for the busy signals.

Incident Report #18 - Modem Card/PRI failure at Greenville POP

1:00 PM - Busy signals were reported by several users for our Greenville dial-up number. Upon checking the equipment it was found that one set of modems was not functioning. This can be caused by a card failure (10% chance) or a line failure (90% chance). We have contacted sprint to have this line checked. It is likely that this failure occurred this weekend and may have caused some busy signals since then. This loss reduces the amount of customers we can service by 23. Please disconnect when not using the service to allow other users on when possible.

4:30 PM - Circuit was reported to be back up by Sprint, and the equipment was restarted. Service returns to normal. Please note that a new modem card and PRI line has been ordered and is due to be installed 10/12/01. This addition will further increase our dial-up capacity and should prevent any busy signals for the next 3-4 months at our Greenville POP. Our Wilson POP has been busy free for 5 months.
