Short Outages in the SDO Website and Data Flow

Since Monday there have been several interruptions in the SDO website and data flow. On Monday a test of the Inertial Reference Units resulted in SDO pointing slightly off center for about 90 minutes. Some data may not be created during that time. On Monday and Tuesday our system administrators were updating the SDO website and, perhaps in anticipation of their impending replacement, one of the older RAIDs failed. There have been several interruptions as the SAs repair the issues and these will continue this week. SDO data continues to flow to the data centers.
