Seti is down again

[msattler]

Yes, that's what I was remembering reading.......
Why not convert the whole kit to nginx, as most have said it is superior to MySql?

Completely different animal - nginx isn't a database management system, it's just another app - a communications app - which runs on Linux.

Thank you Richard.....
I don't understand these things too well.
I thought nginx was replacing MySQL, which many have said Seti has about reached it's useful limitations on.

Looks like the space science lab just dropped off the grid again. Unable to get to Main, beta or BOINC sites.

Yep, same here.

Yup...
Stone cold dead.   Forums and all.  The Cricket graphs are still up, but they've dropped dead in their tracks.

The last responding hop for a treceroute to boinc.berkeley.edu or setiathome.berkeley.edu is ssl-f1.SSL.Berkeley.EDU [169.229.0.218]. I guess that means at least something in the SSL building is alive, though it doesn't rule out a power failure for the building with only a few things switched over to a backup generator.

I did note on the Cricket graphs that some downloads continued for about 10 minutes after uploads stopped, perhaps UPS time.

{edit} And a few minutes later things seem to be coming back. Both BOINC and SETI@home web pages are reachable, Cricket showing some signs...

{edit2} Coming and going. IST service status says:

IST Service Desk is receiving reports of a temporary power outage at various campus locations.  This outage is apparently affecting phones, networks and electrical power.  Power seem to be coming back up and IST will update this announcement as more information is known.

Well, I just hope it wasn't another server-damaging power event this time!

Yeah, server status is updating and shows DBs disabled, along with most other thingys.

And.....from the Seti main page.

"Unscheduled Power Outage
Power to the north east side of the Berkeley campus and the Space Science Lab was interruped this morning at about 16:30 UTC until about 17:30. The cause of the outage has not yet been determined. We're working to get our databased back in working order. We don't yet have an ETA for when the BOINC server will be back online. 29 Nov 2012 | 18:24:52 UTC "

:-(

And I actually had some time off today.

[msattler]

Carumba!!!
The main page message now reads thusly...

"Unscheduled Power Outage

We're working to get our databased back in working order. Current estimate is that we'll be back online on Tuesday, Dec 6. 30 Nov 2012 | 4:42:45 UTC "

Tuesday, Dec. 6th??   Tuesday is the 4th, the 6th is Thursday.  In either case, a rather long outage.

I wonder if the power problem took out some hardware or if they have simply decided to do some database revamping as long as the servers went down ungracefully.

[Richard Haselgrove]

December the 6th. is a Tuesday - in 2016

Oh gawd, Richard......
I hope we don't have to wait THAT long....LOL.

[msattler]

A side note to any and all GPUUG team members here....
Juan has now started a GPUUG team forum over at Einstein for us to converse in whilst Seti is down.

Please come visit.

Meow.

[msattler]

FYI...

I have word from Eric that the servers survived the power outage hardware-wise.
The problem is that the server that hosts the backups is now rebuilding the RAID array, and given it's size, that's gonna take quite some time to self-sort. And there's nothing they can do until that rebuild completes.

Meowch.
