So why isn't auric running now? It's down on a "RAID failure" or something like that, right? If a cpu/mem board goes bad, is "just remove it" necessary for the machine to keep working? What worries me is not the high-reliability enterprise hardware doing it's job, but your "day or two" delay in getting things back. The point of the N+1 rule, as I understand it, is to give a different kind of redundancy, so that we don't have to wait a day or two.
