Its replacement is currently being set up and the scheduler, BOINC message board and account page functions will be disabled until the new server comes online. As the new server is not rack mounted there will have to be a second (more controlled) replacement at some future date. ID: 24311 ·

Access to the web pages which require database access (including server status, user account pages and the message boards) is very slow and will sometimes time out. If the requested page is displayed it might not have the appearance we're all used to (caused by the content being displayed without the CSS file which controls the layout). Scheduler requests are being accepted but there might be a delay before credits are updated. Thanks to everyone for their patience during this outage. ID: 24340 ·

Patience may be needed. ID: 24341 ·

April 24th 2009 Einstein@Home is down to complete some urgent database maintenance. We are working to bring the project back online ASAP. We hope to have the project back up and running within the next 12 hours. Thank you for your patience. ID: 24508 ·

UPDATE 08:20 UTC The optimization of the workunit and result tables completed successfully. We are now doing some index optimizations, which should take about two hours. Then we will bring the project back on-line. ID: 24509 ·

Jord Volunteer tester Help desk expert Send message Joined: 29 Aug 05 Posts: 15552	Message 24520 - Posted: 24 Apr 2009, 12:33:59 UTC Einstein@Home is back (again). Apr 24, 2009 We have completed the database maintenance and are restarting the Einstein@Home project. Hopefully this will go well, but please be patient as it may take some time before everything is working smoothly again. We are advancing the reporting deadlines for work in progress by 10 days, so that work already completed is not marked as unreturned. Because of the work on the database, contributors will NOT be able to see the status of work that was already completed in the past. However in the future, as before, contributors WILL be able to track this status. No contributor credits have been forgotten or lost. ID: 24520 ·

Bad: All related to ABP1 is currently offline, because for some reason the connection to Hannover isn't stable. For some other reason the S5R5 workunit generator is running too slow to keep up with work requests, so the project might run out of work some time over the weekend, unless someone fixed these issues. But after some 12 hours of hard work Oliver and I are too tired to take much care of this, we'll possibly do more damage than good. Need to get some sleep. BM ID: 24524 ·

mo.v Send message Joined: 13 Aug 06 Posts: 778	Message 24640 - Posted: 29 Apr 2009, 11:15:42 UTC CPDN main project Milo says 'I've got the new server now and will switch it over some time this week - perhaps tomorrow [Thurday 30 April]. I'm installing the OS and copying over data now. Hopefully there will only be a very small down time as if all goes well all we'll need to do is shut the server down and swap the hardware over.' So please be prepared for a short outage on Thursday or Friday. It will probably affect the CPDN-BOINC forum, trickles, reporting of completed models and download of new tasks. There may be temporary delays in updating information on models' web pages, the awarding of credits and the export of credits to the stats sites. ID: 24640 ·
