• ITUGLIB Outage - Power Related

    From Randall@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 15 12:34:35 2021
    Hi Everyone,

    The ITUGLIB system in Texas has been experiencing weather-related power issues and rolling blackouts as a result of insufficient grid capacity. Our NonStop system is currently in protective shutdown until power can be reliably restored to our facility.
    This issue has been going on for about five days.

    We ask for your patience as this situation is outside our control. Currently, there is no solid ETA one when power will be reliably restored to millions of people in the state.

    On Behalf of the ITUGLIB Engineering Team,
    Randall Becker

    P.S. The critical security fix release of OpenSSL 1.1.1j due tomorrow, is likely going to be impacted by this situation.

    As of today, 17 Feb 2021, power is still out at our data center. There has been some progress getting power restored but no official ETA from the power company. We are hoping for more information before Saturday 20 Feb 2021 when we will provide another
    updated ETA here. If power is restored earlier, I will post an update. Your continuing patience is appreciated. - Randall

    As of today, 19 Feb 2021, power is still questionable at our site. There are another set of very cold weather events expected. We expect to be unable to obtain a definitive ETA before Monday. If this changes, I will post an update. Your continuing
    patience is appreciated. - Randall

    Power is back on the ITUGLIB system and we are slowly bringing things back up. I am currently working on the OpenSSL 1.1.1j critical fix, which hopefully will be out today. We may get L-series first, and if that happens, I will post the notice in another
    thread. There is some very good news that may be coming with that release.
