One of our NVMe drives has experienced a failure. Our technical team is actively investigating the issue to restore services as quickly as possible. This NVMe drive is non hot-swap and replacing the drive will result in downtime. As a precautionary measure, some VPSs will be migrated to other hypervisors to ensure minimal disruption. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. Rest assured, we are working diligently to resolve the issue and restore normal operations.
Migrating the VPS to other nodes allows you to avoid the necessary downtime needed to replace the physical NVMe drive, and the risk of losing your data. If you are unhappy with this operational migration, please do open a ticket and we will move you back to SPK-12 once the service is restored.
Backups of non-migrated/remaining servers on SPK-12 is now completed. SPK-12 will be scheduled for drive replacement.
Update: SPK-12 is currently down under maintenance.
