We've taken 128.143.199.97 offline due to a RAID failure. We're doing our best to restore function. No ETA at this time, unfortunately.

OK, I got some work after I was finally assigned to a WS, but the queued-for-upload WU is still getting a 503 on the above server on both port 80 and 8080.

Is anybody else having trouble getting new work since this work server went offline?

I have several systems still running the version 6.34 SMP client on various Windows 7 systems (AMD and Intel) and they have been trying for hours to get new work. The assignment server keeps kicking back this message:
Could not authenticate Assignment Server response
Could not authenticate Assignment Server 2 response

I know this was going on a few months ago when they were working on the new assignment servers.. I'm hoping it's just a short term glitch.

Interestingly enough, I finished the WU I finally was able to get, uploaded it to .96, and now I can't get another new one to keep going.

The one that came from .97 is still in the queue to upload with no success.

We're making some progress on this server. If all goes well, we might be up within the next day. (At one point, it was looking like a total loss, so this is very good news.)

I don't think it's my end but how long will it keep retrying ? It ran for days so would hate to lose it !

@1066ad, Your report has been moved to the announcement that the Work Server is down and being worked on. Hopefully as Dr. Kasson has posted the WS will be up soon. The client will keep retrying until the WU goes past its final deadline.

Ah! This explains why my results aren't uploading, still re-trying since midnight, hope it keeps trying and not quitting, many days' worth of data.

Did someone say RAID isn't backup? No?

Well, RAID isn't backup.

Is it the only server that can serve work to v6 clients ?

Since it's down, my old linux v6 client is unable to get work :

Depends. What version of v6? The log didn't show it.

A few other servers appear to be enabled for version 6 CPU folding clients, a minimum requirement of 6.34 seems common. Whether there is work to be had in those queues can not be determined from the serverstat page. Increasingly version 7 is the minimum required, sometimes at least 7.2.9.

In some cases deleting the machinedependent.dat file from the v6 directory and restarting the client will change the situation and result in an assignment to a different server. But that depends on what settings are being used on the client, and what is available on the servers.

6.34 with SMP flag (8 cores and 12 GB reported to the AS). I tried a few other flag combination but it didn't help ...

Posted: **Mon Feb 23, 2015 8:01 pm**

Half my SMPs are receiving data and the others are not. Of the ones not working, half are 12 cores the others 4 cores. When I try deleting machinedependent.dat as well as the work directory and queue, they still get no work. All are v6.34.
