Seti is down again

[msattler]

OMG.....
Last update says there was a fire in the data center......no word on how bad or involved it was.
Let's hope and pray the Seti servers are intact and it was only connectivity that was compromised.

The kitties are nervous!!!

Doesn't sound good, hope it's not ET playing around.

No...LOL.  Hopefully surveillance cameras don't show any high energy beams of any sort from the sky starting the fire.......
Anyway...the damage survey at the data center is supposed to start in about 5 minutes.  It may take some hours before we get any news of their findings.   
The kitties are keeping all their little toes crossed that it is minimal, and at very least, has not harmed Seti's servers.

Meow!

Latest news just posted by campus IST..........,.

UPDATE: Saturday 09/19/2015 07:45: We are currently restoring systems and bringing applications back online as they become available.

Please rest assured your email is still working.  Even if you are unable to access your mail at this time, it will be there waiting for you when CalNet authentication is restored. Your phone and external email clients can still be used to access your account.

Once our systems are available, instructors are being asked to provide students with appropriate accommodations for possible missed assignments or other issues related to the outage.

Meow for now.

What some of you do not know or appreciate is this fact.

I am a savant.

My pain I have tried to relay to you at times.

I can be both quite sturdy at some times, and again just trashy at best.
My posts here and on Seti are my attempts at sharing what I have been through and what I have to live through day to day.

I drink and release my thoughts, but I am NOT a daily alch, much to the chagrin of some who think I am.........
My drinking is a crutch I use at times...most savants need a release or they simply die of thought overdose.

 I am not a daily drinker.  I binge heavily when I need to.
I hope one day, some of you shall come to realize that.

My only true peace shall come on the day I pass and get to meet my Lord and ask HIM for the answers I have sought for all of my years here on this earth.  Because I simply have more questions than answers in this life.

And you do not have the answers for me either, much as some of you suppose to.

Meow for now,
Mark.

Looks like the entire projects fell of the net.  Anybody know whats happened ?

Everything went down yesterday afternoon except uploads.   I sent my usual messages to Eric, Matt, and Jeff.
Was out for the evening.  When I got home, I had a message from Eric that Oscar had crashed, and was back up.
Things were working again somewhat, but the SSP was not updating and the replica DB was offline.  Not sure if any work was being generated or sent out, but I was not seeing any coming in.
A short while after I got home, things went down again, and currently uploads are not working either.
Hopefully things just got too tangled to fix by remote, and they will be able to sort it later this morning.
It's only 5:17AM in Berkeley as of this writing.  13:17 UTC.

Well, Seti's been down for over 11 hours now.  They are working on it.  And to complicate matters, when the guys at the colo try to reboot the Seti server, now it reboots the Boinc server which is in the same box.  Eric thinks they may have a PSU issue now.

So, it could take a bit to get things back on track.

Well at least we can still report and get new WUs.

Yeah, so far that is hanging in there.  Those servers must be in a different box in the rack than the one with the web servers having the difficulty.  Apparently there are 4 servers in a 1U box that is having the trouble.

I'm glad to know that it is not just me having problems today.  I did see on the Berkeley IT web site some maintenance going on but it did not look like it could affect access.

Yeah, I checked there also when Boinc went down after Seti did.  Nothing going on there that would take us all down.

Lets get these 2 topics merged into one.

Might be a router problem as the site is just timing out while loading.

"Fresh from Eric Korpela, through email:

    Carolyn (our BOINC database server) went down last night. Looks like a raid card problem. We're working on it. Will give an estimate shortly."

Thanks for posting Eric's statement here.
