Status - Down
Thank you.

It has only been down a couple hours and it's still early in the morning at Stanford. Normally I'd give them a bit longer than that to take care of it.

The entire machine seems down. I've emailed our networking people, but they're working on another project this morning (UPS maintenance). We'll get it up as soon as we can...

ja its down i cant get new work units.

The portion of FAHlog that you posted does not show any attempts to get new WUs, it only shows that you were unable to upload the results immediately. The client is designed to deal with the condition where you are unable to upload by holding that WU in queue for later upload and downloading a new WU from a different server.

Rather than starting a new topic on this server, I decided to use an existing one.

Question:

Should one be concerned that this server has not assigned new WUs to 7 fast Linux Quads that completed between 4:02PM STANFORD TIME and 8:57PM STANFORD TIME? (make that 8 with the last at 9:50PM PDT)

It is pingable and IS accepting and acknowledging completed WUs properly.

It is just not assigning and the Quads are being served by xx.56, which is Ok for now but may present problems for me over the next 3 1/2 hours when 12 more Quads complete (if xx.56 goes down or 503's).

The only thing that sticks out on the serverstats page is that darned yellow zero in the "S" column and I now believe that I know what that means.

Thanks!

As one said on the old SNL show:

"Never Mind"

It's back assigning and I am sorry to have bothered you folks needlessly!

No worries--thanks for the heads-up anyway.

This server is in REJECT mode again.

Can we restart the binary once again, Please?

Thank you!

Question: I had one WU sent to the CS yesterday and another one just a few minutes ago (others are queued due to the CS's inability to handle the load).
Are we certain that those handled by the CS (xx.25) are being properly credited? I seem to be missing some production.

The server should be back up and running now. Sorry for the downtime. Units that are sent to the CS aren't credited until they are received and processed by the work server, so one wouldn't expect them to register while the server is down. Drop me a PM if they don't show up today.

Thank you very much!

I have to congratulate you for the general stability of this server and xx.56. (and the current WEIGHT parameters)
I have no complaints since my machines continue to receive the class of WUs that "utilize them properly".

The recent stats run indicates that the three sent to the CS between about 11 PM and 11:30 PM (your time) have been credited.
Given that, I expect that the remaining ones sitting on the CS will show up on the next stats update given their times of submission.
I have never had problems with queued WUs and expect those to "arrive at your home" via autosend while you are asleep.

You do sleep, don't you?

Since there was only one in question yesterday (Monday), I do not plan on bothering you with it but appreciate your gracious offer.

BTW, "DL"=0 on this server so enjoy moving some data today.

Thanks again!

Yes, the DL=0 was the cause of the downtime. I started shifting some data around, hopped on a plane to Europe, and got off this morning to find out that the transfer filled up one of the RAID arrays. Everything looks stable now, at least for the time being.

SERVER IS DOWN.... 545PM PDT 26 July.

Yes, we've put in a request to our support staff (this isn't a machine I have physical access to)

Thanks - much appreciated.
