171.65.103.98 - Cannot get GPU WU's

[MichaelO]

I have 4 clients that have been trying to get work for over an hour now. I also can no longer get to the server status page. Every time Stanford schedules work on the servers something goes wrong. Heck of a way to run a railroad.

[MichaelO]

Can now get Nvidia client WU's but still unable to connect to assignment server for ATI Client WU's.

Still unable to get ATI wu's. Its now been down for over 4 hours.

Well, the News Blog from 4 days ago says "it is possible that the GPU AS and PS3 AS will be down, although we are working on migrating those this week to avoid downtime." followed by "At its worst, those servers should only be down for about 3 hours, assuming all goes well with the infrastructure work being done."

Somehow "at it's worst" and "assuming all goes well" are sort of contradictoory. I'm sure the AS will be back on-line as soon as they can get it functioning. I can confirm that I cannot connect to http://171.65.103.98:8080/ from here, either, so there's nothing you can do except be patient.

Bruce,

Thanks for that information and confirmation. It does help to know that there are still issues. I hate the red status box in Fahmon, but I will try to be patient as you suggest. Again thanks.

[FaaR]

I've been away from F@H for a while due to PC stability issues, today when I choose to try making a comeback nothing works, lol...

Been trying to get a new WU since just before 6PM CET, and now it's past 11PM CET. My log file looks like this all the way through:

Thanks for the heads up. This was a tricky side effect of the migration of the GPU-AS. This is now resolved. Sorry it took so long to pin this one down!

Thank You Vijay
