Power Outage

  • We had power outage for production server in our datacenter. it seems for 1 hour and now server is up and running fine.

    What are things I need to check and make sure that everything is fine?

  • Make sure all the services are running properly. Also a DBCC check on the important databases would be good. Suggest reading this article

    Thanks for the reply..everything is good now

    We don't have any monitoring tool now.

    I would like to know whether is there any paging systems for server monitoring?

  • I'd recommend spending a some bucks on an uninteruptable power supply for the server that has the ability to do a soft shutdown after xx minutes of power outage. Depending on the make and model, some will also page you provided it's hooked up to a phone line.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • Thanks to all.

    We had a 50 min power outage. We did not get any outage notification from hosting company in time. Our websites are down, no rdp to servers during that time.

    What would be the best escalation process, rules etc
