Bit of a state of shock here.
Two Dell T110 II servers w/ PERC controllers. Different sites 40 miles away, different networks, (different school districts). They both crashed the same day (the afternoon of 12.9.14). Both with degraded hard drives.. Neither would boot.
I was able to get one of them going - of course the one with a good backup.... The other, I wasn't able to get it to boot. And the backup device had failed several days before and nobody noticed. So now we have a very serious mess as this was their 1 year old Finance server. The drives have already been sent off to try and get the data recovered.
Today I was at the other district, and discovered the other 110 II that had gone down, after doing some research I found out it went down at the same time the other server did... I really wish someone could explain how this has happened!!??
