POEM Unplanned Outage & Relocation

[AMDave]

There was an unplanned network outage on the K.I.T. academic campus yesterday that made the POEM server unavailable.
The admins were able to get the server back on line with limited network capacity and put it into maintenance mode.
They collected outstanding uploads and announced that they would take the opportunity to physically relocate the server.
All going well, the POEM server should be back online sometime later today.

Just me or is it still down?

[AMDave]

Still down, I'm afraid. No ping response yet.
Actually, ping response is "unknown host", so I expect the DNS record is being changed, which would make sense.

PS - Welcome to the forum, forever30. I see you have been a 'silent' member since Oct 2009.

[forever30]

:) thanks for the welcome and info.

[AMDave]

Still no sign of it 10 hours later.
If they were having problems, I expect they called it a night and we (** I ) will see it tomorrow.
** or some other tic of the clock - I am at UTC+10 so you guys will probably see it before me.

The server is running, but we have to wait for a new DNS entry, which may take up to a few days :( I hope it's done until the weekend

[AMDave]

Thanks Dirk.
Still not up yet.
