[tech] Motsugo Downtime (Don't worry, it already happened)

[Andrew Adamson]

I had a quick look at the motsugo IPMI event logs and there's nothing in 
there about any ECC errors or SMART errors. It did log that the case cover 
was taken off at 16:26 though, so the log is definitely working.

A software bug perhaps?

On a side note, I'm going to upgrade the IPMI firmware on motsugo, but 
that shouldn't break anything. I hope.
