[ldm-users] Weatherx.admin.niu.edu update

[Gilbert Sebenste]

Last summer, weather.admin.niu.edu and weather2.admin.niu.edu got replaced 
with new servers. Weather.admin.niu.edu's hard drive failed almost 
immediately. About 30 minutes ago, weather2.admin.niu.edu let me know it 
was about to do the same. Thankfully, it's under warranty, and a new hard 
drive will be shipped today. However, be advised that weather2 could fail 
at any time. If you have automagic failover to weather3.admin.niu.edu and 
weather.admin.niu.edu, you will not be affected...and this outage is for 
informational purposes only. It was determined at the time that the hard 
drive manufacturer sent out a bad batch of drives to the vendor; 
weather2's drive was working fine until today.
