Server room overheated this weekend due to a faulty AC unit. I am unable to confirm the exact tempatures but I estimate that the room was over 100 degrees for about 24 hours. In the room is several servers, routers, firewall, switches, and SANs drive.
The only peice of equipment that complained about the heat was the SANS drive array. It reported that it had overheated and had taken corrective action (spinning down the disks). It had amber lights indicating trouble, I rebooted and all is good now. the other equipment did not have the ability to report.
My question: Although everything is still working perfectly I am paranoid about the invisible damage this has caused that I won’t see but in random lockups and failing equipment over a period of time.
My company wants to know if we need to put together an assessment of the posssible damage/cost of replacement all the equipment for insurance purposes. I am unsure at this point if this is nessasary. I can see the reasoning behind this but at the same time I am hesitant to replace everything. Any comments would be appreciated.
