The NAS Uptime Thread

[Patrick]

I will start off. The Synology DS1812+ from the review. 142 Days uptime with the reboot occurring due to a DSM 4.2 update.

 

[BThunderW]

Can this include Nexenta SAN/NAS too?

507 Days

 

[Patrick]

Awesome! What are the specs on that one?

 

[BThunderW]

Actually. A pretty old machine thought It's been rock solid.

Intel SR1550 (2x E5160, 32GB RAM) 1U with an MD1000 attached (14x300GB 15K SAS + 256GB SSD L2ARC)

Serving my VM environment via NFS.

I cannot post much on one of my clients but does the BMC count? This is from a ssh sell access to a NetApp FAS2020:

Baseboard Management Controller:

Firmware Version: 1.2

IPMI version: 2.0

....
BMC has (1) user: XXXXXX

ASUP enabled: on

ASUP mailhost: 0.0.0.0

ASUP from: postmaster

ASUP recipients: "" autosupport@netapp.com

Uptime: 577 Days, 16:13:02

Not fair. The BMC will report being "up" as long as you have power and didn't do anything to reset it. The system could be turned on with no OS even loaded and still show that much uptime!

Probably has to be an OS-level or NAS-MMI report.

I have a Windows 2000 box at work that will be up for four years on 7/24.

That has got to be a record for ANY version of Windows, much less Windows 2000! Impressive.

From what I was told, it would have had a much longer uptime. It was shut down 4 years ago because it needed to move to a new datacenter. "Old timers" around here believe it was up for almost as long before that.

Running OpenFiler & Hardware RAID6 (bad choice as we have a WA of over 80% most of the time).

My power is neither reliable nor safe enough to test uptime for more than a month or two with the weather here.

I have UPSes on the 24/7 systems, but I pull the plug on them when its nonstop lightning for a few hours.

I've got the other extreme going on. Have been running for exactly 200 days on nothing more than a live-cd image.

Here in Kansas, tornadoes and thunderstorms/power outages ruin any chance for uptime records

It made it!

WOW THAT IS CRAZY! 1460 days of uptime and you snagged a pic only 5 sec after it turned over. Guess Windows isn't that unstable afterall.

Running OpenFiler & Hardware RAID6 (bad choice as we have a WA of over 80% most of the time).

Equally impressive: the 2005 last login date. What kind of HW Raid 5? Adaptec 3000 series?

 

[smccloud]

I think its configured with the wrong year, still says 2005 today but last login on the 22nd. The RAID6 array is on a HP P411 w/ 256MB of cache.

This is my QNAP TS-859U-RP+ running as an iSCSI target

That is great! Does QNAP have any compelling software upgrades that you are waiting to try in the last two years? Trying to deduce why no maintenance downtime in that period.

It works exactly the way I want right now. It only does iSCSI and nothing else. There is also a newer/faster TS-879U-RP that is running iSCSI backup duty. It's the one that gets the firmware updates.

It's just not quite as impressive as far as uptime goes

I guess nobody experience drive failure.
I guess it's all hotwap.
