Seti is down again

[msattler]

I just refreshed the home page and they have now taken down the outage notice.....
Maybe some hope that they will not leave it down all week?

[perryjay]

Still, just Bane, Bambi and Thumper up. They are probably just bringing them up to access the damage. With the upload server still down we aren't going to get any downloads. We'll just have to wait and pray all the servers check out. Even if the AC is fixed they will have to wait while the server closet cools back down to where they can get started back up.

The download  server was up for a bit, and I got some tasks downloaded that were hung when the outage occurred.....whether they intend to leave it up or were just testing I dunno.
Cricket graph shows a spike, but it has since dropped back down and getting HTTP errors on current download attempts.  Hope that doesn't indicate that the download server crashed on it's own.

Downloads are back up.......
Hit the button if you still got any that are hung from last week.  I have some going through now.

It may be completing downloads that were started before but it doesn't seem to be giving any new work. I tried an update and got this reply...

At last, at least thats one of my rigs with enough tasks to see it through another couple of days

Well, homepage up is a good sign that the lab hasn't melted...

Not looking good, from the fron page:

Air Conditioning Update (Tuesday): The air conditioning in our server closet failed on Saturday, causing several of our important systems to overheat. Most servers and services were shut down to prevent damage and remained down until the air conditioner was finally checked out Monday afternoon. We tested the system under full load this morning and it failed again, so full production is delayed at least another day. Sorry for the confusion/inconvenience.

All my incomplete downloads are finished now. That is , have few days of CPU and GPU work now again

[perryjay]

You guys are just trying to make me feel bad cause I got all my downloads finished before this happened and now I'm out of work!

Of course, those who got their downloads were the ones making it impossible for the rest of us

My iMac has finished all of its work, the Q8200 still has a long list of WU waiting to download but nothing to crunch and the X4 630 managed to get everything downloaded and still has SETI work.

The iMac is working on Milkyway, the Q8200 is working on Einstein and Milkyway and the X4 630 is working on SETI and Collatz.

Now I just need to get that Nvidia 460-768 ordered.

I've got plenty of work to last until probably Saturday on the main cruncher.  The single-core machine still has about 12 days of work.  I think the last three APs in that cache are going to miss the deadline.

Things are looking up. Message boards are back, most of the servers are working again. Only one download server is up and the upload server is still down though. Won't be as long as it has been, we might just get back up and running today after all.

Dunno about that.......here's the latest update on the home page.

Air Conditioning Update (Wednesday): The air conditioning in our server closet failed on Saturday, causing several of our important machines to overheat. Most servers and services were immediately shut down to prevent damage and mostly remained down as initial attempts to fix the air conditioning system failed and new parts are being ordered. We just started the project up to help clear some pipes but some services will remain off, and the rest may go off again at any time. Sorry for the confusion/inconvenience.


Just checked and all up and download servers are shown as offline and Cricket graphs went flat.
The kitties give another collective sigh.
