Project Back Online After Overnight Outage

You know, when we have a server crash or an outage at Home Depot, if i took this long to get the system back up, or properly notify the users of staging developments, I'd get fired...

I'd hope so.
It's a business, that's why they pay all the money for that hardware & support.
This isn't, they rely on donations. If you want them to have 24/7 up time & notifications of what's going on, how about you providing all the hardware & money required to support it?

"If you want them to have 24/7 up time & notifications of what's going on, how about you providing all the hardware & money required to support it?"

That would be a web enabled smartphone, right?

All they need to do is set up a log file, and monitor it with trace32.exe.

Set up ping over time to each server, an outbound and inbound bandwidth ping set for 20k packets, and have the scheduler log delivered WU's to the log as well.

Then, with a smartphone you could monitor the log, see any interruption to any server, any interruption to the outbound WU's, any bandwidth constraints or interruptions to the network, and from home, make a post online detailing whhic server is down,, and or what the problem is.

You could even sprint for a laptop if you wanted to spend some real money, and remote the servers or the monitoring PC.

Course, now we are talking nearly $600.

I'll spring for that though, if they are short.

Not quite. Here's the dent our donors have made in the past few months:

This is a science project. Right now, there are more volunteers than there are WUs, on a regular basis.

The project is short of resources, and has to use the available resources where it helps the science. Timely updates on outages may make us feel good, but it does NOTHING for the science. So, the resources (including our donations) go elsewhere.

Ah, well my computers are across 2 sites, i have to drive to work.

I'll look into the configuration you suggested and see if i can figure it out, when i added E@home on mine, it downloaded like 15 E@H tasks and 1 S@H task, so i had to remove the E@H, because i was up against space limitations...

Thought that was why i wasn't getting S@H WU's, because E@H was hogging all the drive space.

But of course, turns out it was just another outage... :)

I'm not getting any work out of the scheduler. Anybody else having trouble?

Everybody is....check the Panic Mode and other threads in Number Crunching.
That's the first place to check if you are having issues.[/quote]

I see that the work creation rate has gone back up from o.nnn to 6.nnn when I had a look at the server status page, but available work is zero..

Either its all being shoveled out as soon as its created or whatever's crated is going into a blackhole..

At any rate I aint getting no satisfaction:-/ Logs show endless 'server has no work available' since yesterday afternoon..

Hi Ivan,
When Murphy is working hand in glove with both the Gremlins & Skynet, its time to send a message.. 1 swift TLAM would be ideal:-)
Gotta get the Gremlins to go back to Dimension 'n'...

Hi Bob,
Yup recon he has:-) Still on the bright side its amazing how many WU are getting validated ASAP.

Although I'm sure there are some folk out there who dont even know there's a problem, I have a couple of wingmen who havent been back to the servers since the 10th of last month.. Ignorance is bliss:-)

Cheers
