One of our power distribution units in Reynolds House has restarted several times, including de-powering and re-powering connected devices several times. Some customers whose equipment was powered from a single feed will have lost power.

06:55:00The PDU continues to show random power outlets as down each time we query its status. While we do not believe that it is actually power-cycling those ports, we do not trust it to continue behaving and so have moved all single-powered devices off that PDU and onto the other PDU in that rack.
