Well thanks for clearing all that up Phil! I feel so much better about participating. There was an offer of help in addition to a frustrated plea as to the lack of information. I've been doing Einstein@Home nearly since it's inception. Polished html, no. A little more information *would* have been nice Cheers and thanks again for your sage comments. |

CPDN main project CPDN upload server cpdn-upload1.comlab has been down since yesterday for data copying/transfer, which is a long job. This server accepts _2.zip files from HadAM3P models. These files cannot upload while this server is down. These models' _1 and _3 files should upload without problems as they are allocated to different servers. While cpdn-upload.comlab is down here are some suggestions: - You could suspend Boinc network activity as much possible until the server's running. - You could suspend your HadAM3Ps before they complete and generate their zip files. - You could do nothing at all because we do not expect this outage to last many days. - Your network connection will be fine. Please do not repeatedly activate and suspend Boinc network activity. - Do not use the Retry now button in your Boinc Manager Transfers tab. Repeated failed attempts are not good for files. - Do not abort the file transfers or the models. They are all good! |

It would appear that Einstein@Home is back up & running. Rob |

CPDN main project On Wednesday 19 Aug Milo hopes to begin work on upload server uploader1.atm. This job is part of the installation of the second new server. He will need to disable the server and could begin 7 hours from now. Here is the CPDN server status page. This server accepts _3.zip files from HadAM3P models. These files cannot upload while uploader1.atm is down. These models' _1 and _2.zip files should upload without problems as they are allocated to different servers. When uploader1.atm is down here are some suggestions: - You could suspend Boinc network activity as much possible until the server's running. - You could suspend your HadAM3Ps before they complete and generate their zip files. - You could take no action because we do not expect this outage to last many days. - Please do not repeatedly activate and suspend Boinc network activity. Your network connection will be fine. - Do not use the Retry now button in your Boinc Manager Transfers tab. Repeated failed attempts are not good for files. - Do not abort the file transfers or the models. They are all good! |

It looks as if Einstein@Home has gone down again. IIRC, both of the two previous major filesystem outages started when SETI was having problems (Einstein is a popular backup project for SETI users). SETI ran out of raw data loaded for workunit generation about four hours ago, and is likely to remain dry for another five or six hours until the start of the working week in Berkeley. Could/should there be any sort of cross-project early warning system to prevent this 'domino' or cascading effect of project failures? |

FreeHAL -> Down (and I have 1 unit to be sent) lhcathome -> Down, as expected ramsey -> Down since a long time... Spinhenge -> Down (probably gone off today, and their web-site is fine) wanless2 -> Down since a long time, but their web-site is fine And other 30 projects running fine in my cluser... If one of the above projects has been definatly turned off, could someone tell me? |

Please note that is thread is really for posting notes about outages, not for asking about them, which should be in it's own thread. *********** *********** Front page of FreeHAL, as cached by Google on 29 Aug 2009: New version ****************** Front page of Ramsey@Home, as cached by Google on 26 Aug 2009: Still working! New Collaborators - Ben Ferenchak. ****************** BOINCstats shows that a lot of users crunching Spinhenge@home got credit in the last 24 hours. ****************** Same as above for WEP-M+2@home, and also for FreeHAL. |

Looks like the Collatz project went offline a few hours ago and remains offline. Collatz is a small and relatively recent project -- and one of the few with CUDA and ATI GPU support. |

Spinhenge appears to be up and running (if there was an outage yesterday it wasn't for a long time).

Collatz remains offline 24 hours later -- their home page is down, so there is no indication of the nature or expected duration of the outage. Looks like the Collatz project went offline a few hours ago and remains offline. |

Milo announced on Tuesday morning on the main CPDN website: Web Server Upgrade We plan to shut down the web server hosting [the CPDN website] some time around 9AM BST [08.00 UTC] on the 8th of September to upgrade the RAM and processors. This isn't expected to be a long procedure, but whilst it is taking place BOINC clients will not be able to contact the scheduler and the main [CPDN] pages and PHP boards [the independent forum] will not be available. The upload servers and BOINC boards will continue as normal. Thanks for your patience during this upgrade and the earlier, and much more extensive, database upgrades. [While the scheduler is down it will be impossible to download new models. My extra comments are in brackets.] |

QMC@Home I just got an email from Martin qah went down about an hour ago. Unfortunately, neither Robert nor I are at the moment in Muenster (Robert is at a Conference and I am working in Prague). I hope that I will be able to describe was has to be done to our computer technician at the institute, but the whole thing might longer than usual for our project ... |

Collatz did come back online on Friday, but they had a power outage on Monday morning which apparently took out the database on the way down. Collatz remains offline today -- it isn't clear how long it will take to recover.

Collatz remains offline this afternoon And maybe even for a few days. There is a statement by Slicker, the Collatz admin: Due to a mixture of water and electricity, the power blew and brought down the server. I'm working on getting it working and/or rebuilding it, but really have no idea whether it will be one day or one week. The good news is I have a very recent database backup from just an hour or so prior to the crash. |

Ah -- OK -- thanks for that. Of course with that outage, GPUGrid is happier with me I suppose. |

I think Rosetta is down. I can't get access to their site, nor can my GPU communicate with their server. |

I think Rosetta is down. I can't get access to their site, nor can my GPU communicate with their server. Exact same issue here. Just waiting it out. |
