— August 22, 2003 —
One of the four CPUs on the main data server malfunctioned this
morning, causing several crashes. We have pulled the bad CPU out of
the system. A replacement from Sun should be arriving later today. We
will need to have another outage to install the new CPU.
The data server is up and running, but dropping connections
Right now the data server machine is up, but not all clients are able to connect.
This is due to our server being swamped with requests,
and usually happens right after a server outage, or if there are
greater network/database problems we are currently trying to fix.
Please try connecting later.
