Looks like Cricket is taking a nose dive. I cannot connect at present. (from So Cal) Dave |

Upload server and scheduler are both offline. They must be tweaking something. |

I can ping all four servers despite the dip in the graph. I don't know if that means things are still responding to HTTP requests or database queries though. Regarding the "not solid" maxed-out time period of the cricket graph, that's due to the round-robin DNS still pointing to the frozen download server. Those who haven't put the entry in their HOSTS file to point at .13 would have seen downloads time-out when they try in the 5-minute period where .18 is listed as the primary. That had/has the potential to cause those dreaded ridiculous back-offs due to a single failed transfer, and then when it would try again, there's a 50/50 chance you'll get .18 again.

Any chance that this temporary fix could be made permanent? I would hope not as most of my requests for work result in none. Prior to the temporary bodge that wasn't the case. Grant Darwin NT |

The limit on tasks logic appears somewhat scrambled at the moment. I've reached my limit for CPU tasks, and that resulted in one system running out of GPU work before it was able to get anymore. Now that it has got some GPU work, it then downloaded another CPU task. Once again, even if only requesting GPU work, it's told it's reached the limit for tasks, even though it's got a bit over a dozen. Given the present mix of work, it might last for an hour before running dry again. Grant Darwin NT |

I ran into that problem, then the other day I had 4 AP's running on the CPU and the GPU tasks which have v.high initial completion times drove the DCF v.low. This caused a request for new GPU (and CPU) tasks each time a gpu tasks completed once the DCF was below 0.6ish. |

For those that like to fiddle with these things, the working download server - bane this time - is 208.68.240.13 It looks as if it is back to .18 now Seti@Netherlands website |

A few moments ago I noticed a drop in activity on the crickets, looking at the server status page it would appear that everything on Vader has come to a stand - has Vader met the light side of The Force...

And now the crickets are on the floor of their cage, hardly twitching :-( That was fun while it lasted, however it is Tuesday so there should be living bodies in the lab in a few hours to sort things out...

It would be superfantastic if ap_validate3 would come back to life sometime soon. I have over 200 pending AP results at the moment :/ |

It would be superfantastic if ap_validate3 would come back to life sometime soon. Well, I think everybody's hoping that... But all we can do is wait and see if the outage helps this week. Off to bed now in Europe, See if my RAC is back up a little in the morning. |

Since things came back online after the weekly outage today I am having trouble getting completed tasks uploaded.
I have a host entry to force these nodes to use .18 for downloads but there is only one upload server, correct? Is anyone else experiencing upload issues? |

Is anyone else experiencing upload issues? Yes, getting lots of timeouts. And the server status page hasn't updated for over an hour. Things are often sticky for a while after maintenance, but this is stickier than usual. |

... No, pending merely means the science application did not know of any problem doing the work, so it is reported as a "success". The Validator must check it against a wingmate's result before it can become VALID. Those who maintain their systems well and don't go too far with an overclock or similar can expect pending tasks to become valid. But they may be more like a stock market investment than like money in the bank. Joe |
