Update file server: no more geo-redundancy restrictions
Hello, currently our secondary system has been running again for about 2 hours, so since this time a geo-redundant backup has been performed again. All data has already been backed up to our secondary system.
Cooling supply KG II in operation again
The new chiller /refrigrator-machine is repaired and back in operation. The switchover has taken place and the services can now return to regular operation.
Interim status of cooling supply failure KG II
Currently, the server room is supplied by the old chiller, so some services are available again. However, repair work is still in progress and interruptions may occur again when switching back to the new refrigeration supply.
Update: Backup/archive service will be available again from about 14h30.
Currently, maintenance processes are still running, after which the servers will be released for client access again.

File server: Restrictions due to cooling failure in KG2
Due to cooling problems (see [1]) at our second site, all systems there have to be shut down. Our main site in the data center is not affected. However, due to the shut down of the second site geo-redundant backup of data from our main site to the second site is no longer available.
Shutdown of second StorageGrid site
Due to the defective cooling supply, the StorageGrid servers in KG II are switched off as a precaution. Access to S3 resources is affected. Performance may be reduced, but access should still be possible. Newly created objects may (depending on the policy) not be created georedundant (geo-redundancy) at the moment. This is done automatically after the StorageGrid servers are restarted.
Interruption of backup/archive service due to cooling supply failure
The already reported outage also has an impact on Spectrum Protect. To avoid endangering the disk buffer hardware, we have decided to shut down the Spectrum Protect infrastructure until tomorrow.
