Access to 171.64.65.103

Post by Oldhat »

Hi,

Just seem to be having a few problems getting work from this server at the moment. The problem appeared this morning ( my time is 12+ UTC ) and I just put it down to the expected server maintenance, but I am still experiencing periodic problems accessing this server.

The server status page doesn't appear to be showing anything untoward.

I've included an edited log file below.

Server is up and running, but has no WU to go and I don't know why the AS doesn't send us to 171.64.65.102 which has plenty of work ... :(

well that answers my question. Although, I would have phrased it more like "wtf is wrong with the server".

out of curiosity, how long can this project go on befoer everything is done?

There is so much interesting scientific work to be done by FAH that it looks like there will never be a time when "everything is done"

The number of active projects is limited both by the number of scientists who are qualified to do this sort of research by the number of servers that they can afford. After a server outage like we had yesterday, it's also possible that certain FAH servers didn't come back on-line as quickly as expected and that can lead to shortages on other servers.
