they are down...
Down for me. OVZ and KVM that I have in LV are both unreachable, as is manage.buyvm, and I can't connect to their IRC. Buffalo location seems fine, though.
No, they don't use Solus
Looks like an outage though http://buyvmstatus.com/
They don't use SolusVM, but yes LV seems down.
My VPS in NY is still up but i also can't reach their management sites.
They have been laughing at CVPS all these days, and now table is turned...interesting...
I seriously doubt they had their servers wiped. LV has gone down completely once or twice in the past for various routing/data center issues. No doubt they'll be back shortly.
Seems fiberhub may have had an issue, as I cannot reach anything I have in that colo at this time. It's a super hot day in Vegas today, and this weekend is only going to be hotter, so I hope thats not what this was about.
Fran confirmed FiberHub power issues.
And there goes my 135 days of uptime...
Even some of the best... What happened to the UPS Backup grid and backup generator systems?
How small/large is Fiberhub? I'm surprised that there is no thread on WHT about the outage.
There seems to be a thread there now ;-)

I'm more surprised that Fran's not put anything out on Twitter yet - normally they're pretty quick at that if there are any serious issues that affect more than just a handful of nodes.
"14,000 square foot facility with 7000 square feet of conditioned datacenter space"
from datacentermap
Ah, ok. Yes very small datacenter then.
I wonder what the point of getting A+B power was then if the whole place goes out..
My BuyVM VPS in LV is back up now.
Also, at least on supermicro boards, the A+B feeds go to the same power board introducing another point of failure.
Yeah that is pretty small.
Fiberhub does have a UPS, and it did function. From what I've read, the UPS ran out of battery power because the generator didn't turn on because the ATS didn't work properly. I think they had to manually start the generators.
Tough break. Stuff happens
How many power issues have there been at Fiberhub recently?
Depends what recently means, I can remember at least 3 other since january, but IIRC none throughout the whole facility like this one.
Awesome website -> http://www.fiberhub.com/
Here's the official response:
Our facility experienced a partial utility power failure this afternoon.
Because the failure was only partial and not a complete loss of utility power,
our ATS system failed to automatically switch us over from battery to generator
power. We subsequently were able to locate the issue and transferred power to
our backup generator manually, but unfortunately our UPS system had run out of
capacity before we could complete manual transfer. Our electrical contractors
are on site now and are working to determine when it will be safe for us to
return to utility power. This has also caused us to have some routing issues
which we have our network engineer working to resolve currently.
We appreciate your patience, and are working diligently to restore 100% service.
An RFO will be released as soon as available.
@qps where did they post this? Because PHP is down on their website...
They put it in a response to a support ticket to me.
nod: lv-storage04 and lv-kvm11 still down for now, but http://buyvmstatus.com/ told me it's up? ( check node:storage-lv-04 )
1 hour+ downtime.
Hopefully they can back up ASAP.
