Seti is down again

[Miep]

Must have plugged it back in, I just got buried in tasks.

SETI message boards just came back up!

[msattler]

Seti just ditched again........
Forums and all.

Hopefully somebody is rebooting to try to fix the nasty download problems that have existed since coming back up after the outage.

[Claggy]

Oh dear, Seti website and forum seems to be unreachable, at least schedule requests are still going through,

Now everything is down including the main page. Can't report work either.

Let's just hope it's a planned outage......

Seti and Seti Beta's Websites are up now, but projects are down for maintenance,

That's a good sign, I think.
Probably means that somebody is in the lab pushing the buttons.

Well, I can get to the main page and the server status page again. Doesn't tell much except they are down. On the server status page it shows everything either not running or disabled except the Astropulse science database on Bambi.

Main page now says the Aircon has failed, project will stay down until they've assessed the damage,

The air conditioning in our server closet failed this morning, causing several of our important systems to overheat. The servers have since been shut down, but until we survey the damage and address these cooling issues all parts of the project will remain offline.

Anyone want to start a new fund raiser for air conditioning?

I wonder how long things will be down.  I don't really have any pressing need to contact the servers, but I'm sure several hundred (or thousands) of people do.

[perryjay]

Probably at least through tonight and well into tomorrow. That is if they can get someone out on a Sunday to work on it.  Hmmm, "until we survey the damage and address these cooling issues" Sounds bad, could take even longer than tomorrow. Anybody remember how long they were down last time the AC went out? May be a one day fill-up again.

[perryjay]

We're not the only ones with a problem with the heat. 

Cheer leading team is banned for being to damned HOT. What's wrong with you ruskies?

I was wondering too. I think that the campus air conditioning tech will probably reset the air conditioner soon, but bringing that many servers up and testing for damage is likely to take considerable time. I'd guess Monday sometime unless one or more of the staff can defer whatever else they had planned for the weekend.

I also wonder how many of the downloads started during the ~24 hours work was being delivered actually completed. BOINC getting a little bit of all downloads rather than trying to get at least a few completed was somewhat modified by the "project backoff" mechanism, but still I bet a lot of users have more partial transfers than completed ones.
