I have been uploading and downloading Einstein GPU work (BRP6-Beta for Nvidia), and also uploading FGRP4 work for several hours with no problems shown in the log here.

Einstein came back up about 1/2 hour after it went down.

And Einstein posted this at 12:00 UTC Wednesday 21 October:

We need to shut down the project for a few hours to do some urgent database maintenance. Your clients are able to handle that so the interruption should cause no harm.

Please note that during that time [the Einstein] website will be offline as well. As soon as it's available again, the project itself will be up and running as well.

Einstein@Home is available again. We restarted at about 13:25:00 UTC.

Einstein@Home Project

Part of the CPDN site is up again. The “Homepage” and the “News” page are responding. The “Account” page and the Message Boards are still unresponsive. Zip file uploads are still not going through. Considering the backlog of zips waiting to upload after 6 days, the server may just be overloaded.

A further update on ClimatePrediction.net's predicaments:

A further update on the ongoing issues with the storage array on which the CPDN infrastructure resides:

Will in OeRC IT Support is continuing to work on restoring the storage array. The storage array has been rebuilt, and some services are being to be brought back online. These include a number of virtual machines, including the CPDN web server which is now back online. The CPDN project servers remain offline. Due to the expected back load of updates that will need to be performed with CPDN clients we will keep the CPDN project servers offline until we are confident that services on the storage array are sufficiently restored to be able to handle the load.

Once again, we apologise for the ongoing outage to services.

Collatz database went down about 5 hours ago (6PM west coast time).

It was steady for three weeks -- hope it bounces back up over the weekend.

Find Neglected Diseases is down.
WU aren't uploading, accounts and forums are down, and there's error messages all over the website.

A slight change in the responsiveness of the CPDN site. When I click the “Accounts”, “Help Desk”, “User Forum”, or “Team” button I not get the message :

“Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cpdnboinc/team_display.php on this server.

Apache Server at climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk Port 80”

Past attempts to access these pages have just resulted in a no connection time out message from the browser. So there does seem to be some life there, we are just not being let in yet.

Just to confirm your reporting, yes I am getting the same.

More CPDN progress to report:

We have now restarted the majority of services within the CPDN project including all central BOINC services. We are restarting the local (Oxford) upload server shortly in a manner that will allow us to control load into the main infrastructure so those waiting to upload there please be patient.

find is working again, also the fora, accounts etc

Re: ClimatePrediction.Net (AKA CPDN)

I think the servers must be getting hammered with all the uploads,
and so I think I will suspend my network activity on BOINC,
for a day or so to give the servers a break.
patience is required :)

Climateprediction.net AKA cpdn is down again

"Project is down
The project's database server is down. Please check back in a few hours. "

And back up again.

Collatz was up for 5 days -- went down this morning -- and still is offline.

It's apparently the same data base crash that has bothered the project periodically for a long time.

Re: ClimatePrediction.Net (AKA CPDN)

The CPDN project will be taken offline for a scheduled downtime starting at 1000 UTC on Monday the 2nd November.
This is in order to perform firmware updates to the controllers of the storage array on which the CPDN servers reside. The firmware updates will correct an issue with the controllers that was a cause of the recent unscheduled downtime.
This work should not affect the climateprediction.net pages of the website, however the climateapps2.oerc portion of the website will be taken offline.
Will in OeRC support will be performing this work on the controllers of the storage array. At present we don't have an expected length of time that this firmware update will take, however we will endeavour to restore the project as soon as the updates have completed.

CPDN seems to be making progress. I can access my account info, server status page, forums, etc., and reported a couple of recently completed tasks. However, I don't see any official looking announcement in the forum.

There was a moderator briefing today:

The work to update the firmware has now completed and the project has now been partially restored. We are aware that a number of project services are still offline and we are working with OeRC support to bring these online as soon as possible. We apologise that the scheduled downtime took longer than expected.

Colattz seems to be under stress these days it appears difficult to get a full day run there without the database going offline -- as it is again this morning and has been fro a few hours.

Yes.. my first day on adding this project, too. All my computers must have overwhelmed it. lol.. I hope Colattz works out.
