Seti is down again

[skildude]

I was beginning to think it was time to get backup projects rolling.  I'm getting mighty low on work.  With the glut that is sure to occur the second the servers are back on it might not be a bad idea to get some backups rolling anyway

[perryjay]

Well, it's 7AM. Wonder which one overslept and isn't there yet?

Upload traffic has commenced.
Let's hope there's not too much trouble bringing all the rest of it back up from cold iron.

Upload traffic has commenced.

Slow going through, Seti and Boinc websites are up now, but forums are down for maintenance,

This is the first Friday that Matt has worked in the SSL in how long?

[msattler]

Right now, both of my machines are configured to report 50 tasks at a time, that usually works just fine.

I kind of hope they turn on the upload server first and let us do a mass upload before they turn on the scheduler and finally the download servers.

Please refresh our memory.
If it is needed, what was that tweak again?

Just use the following in your cc_config.xml (for Jason's mod 6.10.58 and Boinc 6.12.x and later):

Code: [Select]

<cc_config>
   <log_flags>
   </log_flags>
   <options>
      <max_tasks_reported>50</max_tasks_reported>
   </options>
</cc_config>

Yup, had to go there.
Trying to report 1800 to 2400 tasks just resulted in HTTP internal server errors.
Set it at 100, and all 3 top rigs are now reporting their completed work in more manageable packets.
I'll just leave it in place and active....no reason not to.

looks like upload server is full or down.  time to move this thread back to the top where it is always!!!

[perryjay]

From the front page at SETI@Home...

Planned Power Outage
Repairs are necessary after the short circuit that caused power failures in several labs here on campus two weeks ago. These repairs require a planned power outage, which starts this afternoon (Tuesday 22:00 UTC). We'll be back on line Thursday morning (roughly Thursday 17:00 UTC). Our websites and data servers will be offline throughout this outage. 29 May 2012 | 17:11:12 UTC

[perryjay]

Thursday morning???   OUCH!!!

[msattler]

Owie.....
But thanks for the info, arkayn.
I had not seen that notice.
Better than if the servers had crashed, I guess.

Meow.

This time, the BOINC servers and website will be able to stay up at least part of the time. Their outage (times in PDT) was posted as

Due to a planned power outage, the BOINC web site will be down tomorrow (Wed 30 May) from:
3:45 AM to 11:00 AM
5:00 PM to 8:00 AM the next day.

Two reasons for the difference:

1) SETI is a complicated beast with lots of interconnected servers. It's best if they're powered down carefully (and in the right order) while the staff are on-site, and powered back on again the same way.

2) "Two big temporary generators got moved into the SSL parking lot today. The lab has enough back-up generator power for Isaac [the BOINC server] and for the lab routers and switches, but not enough to keep seti@home up."

[RottenMutt]

so the servers will be back on line FRIDAY!!!
