The result of this is that all our servers are now offline and the project is currently unreachable. When power is restored, I will bring back all the services.

Best regards, Andy Zip files are still being uploaded at least for the most recent Linux models as they go to a server somewhere else in the world. However everything at Oxford still appears to be down. ID: 100373 · Reply Quote

I've just uploaded a zip to upload11.cpdn.org (192.171.139.103). Out of curiosity, I tried to find the location of that IP address. The site I chose offered four different database answers: Swindon, London, Nottingham (all in England), and Currie in Scotland. ID: 100375 · Reply Quote

I asked and got the following back: Hi Jord, There is no news I am afraid. The Engineering Department IT Support is working on bringing services online. Access to the department is very limited due to access limitations put in place due to the Coronavirus. So at the moment we are very much in the hands of Engineering IT Support.

Probably, but the hardware it runs on must be OK. Especially server hardware doesn't like it when one moment it's full on and the next off. So I do hope they had a good UPS when the power outage started to be able to power down everything gradually. ID: 100478 · Reply Quote

Me too. Though I know the backup system was improved last year so long term not too worried. Testing site and main site zips are still getting uploaded as they go somewhere else than Oxford. No idea whether this will hold up any new work or not as I don't know if the current batch of testing is a prelude to new main site work or not. ID: 100479 · Reply Quote

Once you hear that it's back up, a manual update may help to get things going again. ID: 100480 · Reply Quote

Charles Raimondi Send message Joined: 1 Oct 20 Posts: 2	Message 100915 - Posted: 1 Oct 2020, 21:25:30 UTC My machine DESKTOP-724EV7H has not received any new tasks from Einstein@Home since yesterday, 30 September 2020, but my machine is receiving work from Rosetta@home. Coincidentally, or not, my machine received a new Windows 10 update last night, but I think I dealt with that by making a Windows Firewall Exception for BOINC.src, which allowed work from Rosetta@home, but no/no tasks are coming in from Einstein@Home. Is Einstein@Home out of work, or down, or is there a change I need to make in my BOINC set up to resume getting work from Einstein@Home? ID: 100915 · Reply Quote

Turn on the work fetch debug logging and see if you are asking for Einstein work. On new set-ups Rosetta is notorious for downloading far too much work and swamping the cache. It is very possible that the work fetch is saying it cannot cope with the jobs in hand and won’t get more until the cache empties. ID: 100921 · Reply Quote
