This was not a building wide problem; apparently it did serve to find the failed UPSes in a few places. The building management does these tests several times a year, and at least to the one colo where we had visibility to the building electrical service, we saw the same outages we always see during such a test. It is also worth noting, that I only saw one of about 60 BGP sessions across the Seattle-IX (which is in the building) reset at the time of the work.

We too had probs. I saw only two outages, one around 8PM PDT and one around 9:45PM PDT. I called during the first one, and the people I talked to were obviously in a state, and I had trouble hearing anyone, as they were in an extremely loud part of the data center or something. From what I could understand through the noise of some really loud fans or a generator, there was a power test of some kind, and a generator flaked or something. I've requested more detailed info, but have yet to receive it. >From what I understand, it affected more than just one provider. --Rick Kunkel On Fri, 26 Jan 2007, chuck goolsbee wrote: > > >We just saw one of our gig-e circuits to the Westin bounce three > >times and another just go flatline in the past hour. > > Answering my own question I know, but the OnFiber/Qwest guys I spoke > to informed me that they heard the Westin had some sort of backup > power scheduled maintenance go wrong.
