So, as you notice, we had a powercut just during holiday which could not be fixed until today.
We are still in recovery phase.

Message 8395 - Posted: 14 Apr 2009 | 13:07:00 UTC - in response to Message 8377.

A gentle question, is work being made available yet? The server status page appears normal with increasing WUs apparently available, and all server indicators showing "running" and I get:

"14/04/2009 14:01:56 GPUGRID Message from server: No work sent"

as work request response. I well appreciate lots of work may well be continuing in recovery from the holiday dramas - I would hate to find after an extended period aka tomorrow, that in fact the surface indicators are right, work is available, and its a fault at my end.

Regards
Zy

..... same here. When the servers came back up each of my boxes grabbed 2 WUs - since then I get the 'no work sent' message. Perhaps there is more than a network failure to recover from and hence the extra time until work is available.

Thanks for that - if you are getting the same - then its highly likely there is recovery work ongoing, or the pipe is clogged up with update/work requests from similarly dry machines.

Either way, time to put the kettle on again and comtemplate "the meaning of life" :)

Still work in progress!
The server is receiving all the workunits which is saturating the bandwidth.
We then need to send new ones, because some steps have been lost and we need all of them.

Even now, the system has not recovered and there are hosts uploading results.
At least, this is what it seems, with WUs not being canceled.

The problem was at the end a network failure. The net interface simply hanged.
We are considering moving the server somewhere where we can physically access it if needed.

Also, we are considering buying a new server with more redundancy, like double network, double power supply and so on.

I will inform you when things are back to normal.

GDF.

I am also getting that message. I have also recieved credits for 2 of the 3 WU's that I had completed. It will probably take a few days for things to return to a sense of normality. I am happy to see the sytem back up, if not runing too well yet. Still, the work on the server is progressing and hopefully soon we shall see work appearing.

Sorted - I needed to suspend SETI CUDA else it would not download a GPUGRID WU. Two WUs downloading now, will be crunching them shortly :)
