Did something just freeze over?

Well I don't know about a freeze but something certainly did happen for a bit there.

Cheers.

anything fixed ?


Nah, that will happen soon after it starts snowing in he**

LOL

It snows in Hell quite a lot. I think the snow there can be predicted with greater accuracy than that of the servers status.

I didn't know we were ever off of the 3 day maintenance cycle. However the main page does state that the project will be offline until the server that had bad memory recovers.

The 3-day outage message is antiquated. Used to be just a few hours on Tuesdays and by Tuesday afternoon (if there were no major issues), everything was running smooth again.

Then database load started increasing and the servers at the time couldn't handle doing everything we ask it to do plus letting NTPCkr do what it needed to do, so the 3-day outage was introduced. The normal outage would happen and only last a couple of hours, and then NTPCkr got nearly two full days all to itself.

We got new servers (thanks to Mark for kick-starting that fund-raiser) and went back to just a couple of hours on Tuesdays (if there are no major issues).

Well, "Workunits waiting for assimilation" still there, so looks like they just added some disks. I would advise to make bunch while it possible...


So, unfortunately I was clearly right...

Synergy was purchased by the some wonderfully donations from the GPU Users Group to be the nit picker server. The two servers purchased thru the fund raiser went to replace Bruno and I don't remember the name of the other server (perhaps thumper). Problem is that Synergy hasn't been used for its intended purpose. Hopefully these two new servers can be appropriately used and return a rig back to sitting idle with nitpicker on it..

No the "other 2 servers", Carolyn and Oscar, replaced Thumper and the other was Ptolemy I think (Bruno was replaced by another old server of similar type).

Ok after a lot of reading of old Technical News posts going back 1.5 years here's how it all finally went;

Oscar replaced Thumper as the SETI@home science database and Thumper replaced Ptolemy as the internal file server.

Carolyn replaced Mork as the BOINC master database.

Marvin replaced Bambi as the Astropulse science database.

Bruno was replaced by Bambi (the later being renamed Bruno to make it easier on the whole system to insert).

Synergy was to be the nit picker server (it may will be again) but it had to take many duties from both Bruno and Vader as those two couldn't handle the demand of all the tasks they were allotted.

I hope that this clears things up. :)

Cheers.

Will be interesting to see how the new servers on the way have their resources allocated.

Well by rights the 2 new servers should just about remove all the old troublesome hardware (or at least greatly reduce almost all the load on them) given the performance that Synergy has shown us. :D

Is it me, or is there a period of time every year (maybe over a two or three week period) where everything just seems to go TU ? Rest of the year is pretty stable.

Sort of like celebrity deaths...they seem to come in clumps of three in a short period...then zippo

I've always felt we are walking a tightrope and fall off (or hang on with our teeth) more or less regularly. If we run for several weeks without hiccups, people start wondering when the next major desaster will strike...

We lost the outage pool thread a while back - feel like doing us the honours, Sten-Arne?

Hell is what you make of it, and can be anywhere, at any time,
Even in `our` server room,
I hear it does get quite hot and loud in there,
And many daemons do much work for their masters,
(and sometimes screw IT up big time)
Nothing to do with the variance of rack mount rail systems :¬)

I think the "years" quoted must be Mercurian years, not Terran years....


(Although even they may a bit on the long side)

I'm always grateful when there is some service during the "three day outage" - I see it as a window of opportunity for the boys and girls in the lab to do things apart from keeping our crunchers well fed.
