...and the SSP is now hiding in a corner with the lights turned off :-(

Looks like it took about 7 hours, but the splitters have finally come good. Managing to pump out plenty of work as required. The assimilation backlog is clearing.
Unfortunately the WU awaiting deletion backlog continues to grow (it was falling while the assimilator backlog was growing), and the replica continues to fall further & further behind.


EDIT- and the forums are very random as to whether they will load, or take a minute or 2 to do it... (same for looking at accounts and tasks/systems).

No, same hear. Communication deferred for 20 minutes. Hopefully not a sign of database issues.

Forum also very slow to respond.

Just looked at my machines. They had a few instances of no communication a half hour ago. All machines were able to get work in the last few minutes and are fully cached. Don't like the fact the SSP has gone missing again. I had hoped they would fix the ever growing task load on the deleters during the extended outage. Things are NOT running normally.

Add to the SSP being broken. the forum is slow, and a few random profile pages are "broken".

The haveland graphs (and my RAC) look more like a blueprint design for a new LEGO build than a stable system.

Looks to be a number of problems from Pages just being Slow to pages not displaying.

It's somewhat random which pages vanish, as some of them re-appear. However it does appear to be getting more widespread and persistent. I think a common thread is that they are all data-driven pages, so that might be a clue (or it might be a read herring)

But on the other hand, I had problems a few minutes ago refreshing these boards, with the browser pausing at 'establishing secure connection'. Surely that would happen a long way down into the web server hierarchy, long before it got to binding data into a driven web page?

Wish we had some news about the difficulties the project is having. The SSP numbers are still whack, especially the db purging. I haven't been able to get any work on the Linux cruncher since the project came back this morning. I can't view any host because the request times out. I wish they would tell us what the issue is and what they need to do and then just take the project down for however long it takes to fix things correctly.

Again can't get WU's, and my slower cruncher got more in advance than my faster.
Also noted that total score graph climbing rate diminished by the factor of +/-two on both machines.
RAC graph seismographic behavior, looks like S@H is giving less points for the job done, than before outrage time.

I'm still getting nothing but no tasks are available across all machines. I've tried all the tricks. TBar's Triple update and the server tire kick. Nothing coming in. I'm down to 50 cpu and 65 gpu tasks on the Linux cruncher. Won't be long before I'm out of gpu and I guess my new Einstein backup project gets the love.

. . Well after the unscheduled 3 hour outage a few hours ago I am now getting mostly "no tasks available". Won't be long until I am out of work again. :(

. . Maybe I should give the guys a rest anyway with the heat we've been having lately. A/C isn't coping and with the wick turned way up it it still 30 C in here :(

. . Oh well ... I'll give it another hour ...

Well the Linux cruncher got a pardon. I was down to a dozen gpu tasks. What was really hurting me was the scheduler was constantly putting my gpu's into 10 and 20 minute backoffs.

So a question for the group. What criteria does the scheduler use to put a host into backoff. For both cpu and gpu conditions?

And what is the correct way to utilize the many Event Log options to clear said backoffs. I just keep fumbling around with the various options and looking at the project Properties until I see the backoff get removed. I don't know which if any option that I have been toggling is the one that clears the backoff. Would be nice to know which option is guaranteed to get rid of the backoff.

Anyone know?
