The Climate disk full scenario seems to be moving to chronic -- are there any plans for moving forward from this so that Milo doesn't have to semi-regularly shut down and move data around for a temporary solution.

I am guessing that the problems at SETI won't be looked at until Monday, and then at best won't be resolved until it is time for the weekly half-week shutdown, meaning that SETI is not going to be available for uploads/downloads until Friday this coming week, at which time the accumulated traffic jam may make things difficult for a period of days.

The thing is, the current 'half-week on/half-week off' cycle means that any problems that occur during the 'half-week on' phase become quite a bit more disruptive for SETI.

The periodic validator/work generator memory leak bug has resurfaced for Milkyway -- no new work, completed work not getting validated. Probably will be resolved by Monday noon.

Yeah, I'll wait till Tuesday before deciding if I am going to abort the 68 tasks in perpetual download/cannot download cycle. Too bad it'll reduce my next week's allowance to 30 tasks. ;-)

SETI is now totally offline. The main webpage was online earlier today. I guess things are worse than originally thought.

thinman is there answering pings and traceroute, but it looks like apache is not running. Don't know if it was disabled by hand or if drives went offline due to heat damage.

In any case we know the project isn't coming up until the A/C repairman has finished. Hope he didn't need parts and has to order parts Monday AM then wait for a shipment from a supplier.

If memory serves, this is at least the second time in the past few years that the SETI project has had an AC failure in their server closet. One may hope that from this they are able to implement physical changes that improve the reliability of their cooling there and perhaps provide amore adequate closet layout (that is perhaps they have too much equipment in a too small space to begin with).

With their half week weekly offline schedule, it may well be until the end of this week that we see things back to 'normal' (once they are fully online, a week long outage is going to show up with major traffic jams (upload/download) which may take over a day to sort out.

SETI update
Monday Update: The air conditioning in our server closet failed on Saturday, causing several of our important systems to overheat. Most servers and services were shut down and will remain down as we continue to wait for the air conditioning to be fixed, which will be Tuesday at the earliest.

Looks like they (Berkeley) did need to order parts.

CPDN main project

Upload server climateapps1.oucs is now up and running though Milo may need to disable it later today for a short update. There is no need to take action.

Dnet went offline about 2 hours ago (7AM PDT) -- home page can't be reached.

SETI remains offline (at a guess it will remain offline for the week).

Looks like Friday at the earliest to me, if the usual midweek shutdown is included!

small parts came online today. Looks like they are allowing interrupted wu to download. However it looks like full restore will be delayed until after the midweek shutdown passes.

Seti Update
Air Conditioning Update (Tuesday): The air conditioning in our server closet failed on Saturday, causing several of our important systems to overheat. Most servers and services were shut down to prevent damage and remained down until the air conditioner was finally checked out Monday afternoon. We tested the system under full load this morning and it failed again, so full production is delayed at least another day. Sorry for the confusion/inconvenience.

Not looking good.

SETI@home Update _ Wednesday _ 15 Sep 2010 17:17:53 UTC

15 Sep 2010 17:17:53 UTC

Air Conditioning Update (Wednesday): The air conditioning in our server closet failed on Saturday, causing several of our important machines to overheat. Most servers and services were immediately shut down to prevent damage and mostly remained down as initial attempts to fix the air conditioning system failed and new parts are being ordered.

We just started the project up to help clear some pipes but some services will remain off, and
the rest may go off again at any time.
Sorry for the confusion/inconvenience.

Looks like seti is down till tomorrow. The web site is offline again. They did tell us that it may die again as final repairs had not been made.

We're taking the project off line for the night, partly (mostly) for temperature concerns, but also to let the back end queues drain and give more I/O to the thumper root mirror re-sync that became necessary.

OK then, I think we may be up. The condenser fan motor was replaced today and we brought the projects up. It's good that we can test under load while we're still at the lab.

Assuming that there are no problems, we'll just call this the start of the server run for this week.

Dnetc is currently offline -- they are performing a hardware upgrade (moving up to a RAID 5 array). They had shorter outages during the week as they got the hardware physically installed. I'm guessing the current outage is the 'big one' for them -- they have been offline for about 10 hours so far.

This is a planned outage though -- it was announced on the homepage as September 14 to September 18.

Looks like Orbit@Home bit the dust already. From "In production" to "down" in two days. Must be a BOINC record. :)
