After REC systems came back up following the Sandy related power outage, we were not able to bring up the akane server. We first tried moving the hard drive to another CPU. This did not work properly and it was causing hard disk related errors. We eventually offloaded the material needed to operate the akane services (both for REC and J1) and moved them to another drive. We did a reinstall and so far, everything is working stable.
This is not our final solution but we wanted to get the services back up and running.
Thank you to those who had offered off-site hosting of these services. We are avoiding such arrangements at this time, especially on shared servers because the Broadcast Services applications can be very taxing, especially during daily and weekly updates.
We are working on a more permanent solution but for now, we seem to be doing OK.
Again, thank you everyone for your patience.
