The day after I set up my server, the power goes out. I am sitting here during a power outage. I don’t know why the power went out. But as you can see, my server is still running. I’ve split the power for my server to two different UPS’s, and the one supposedly has 270 minutes of run-time left on it. So I am good for a little while. I shouldn’t have to break out the generator. I need another one of these UPS’s… 270 minutes is pretty damn good. That give me quite a bit of lead time to get back and setup a generator if need be.

Success!
Well, I now have my new IBM server up and running. I’ve transfered everything over, users, web, email, MySQL, awstats, etc. I also changed from XMail to Courier-IMAP/Postfix. It took quite a while. I’ve also rewired my closet a bit. The new server is much faster. It’s a single (but dual-ready) Xeon 3.0GHz, with 1GB RAM (for now), and (4) 36GB SCSI 15K in a RAID 5 +1 Hot Spare. I’ve also got the dual power supply, in case one breaks down. Well, I need some sleep now. Hopefully I won’t get too many calls in the morning about email issues (however, if all goes well, there should be none).
