Free-DC stats outage

[AMDave]

FYI

The Free-DC stats will experience intermittent outages today and possibly tomorrow whilst Bok conjures some serious sys-admin auto-magic.

Please be patient.

Services will return to normal shortly.

This is a planned outage and not a calamity.

Those servers had to be upgraded and updated at some point in time...

I cannot connect to Bok's stats tonight; maybe more maintenance?

[vaughan]

Is it just me or are the stats at Free-DC down?

[AMDave]

No. They are down for me too.
I can ping the server, so the connection is ok and the boxen is breathing.
It just seems to be crazy-busy doing something on all cores, hopefully something that Bok has told it to do. :shrug:
We will find out soon.

[AMDave]

They are back.
There was a h/w issue:

The current outage / intermittent site stress at Free-DC Stats & Fora has been reported

maybe the proposed new SSD drive is being installed? /edit- nope. see next post -edit/

Don't forget Ototero's AMD Users stats are accessible via the STATS link in the menu bar above.
Thanks Ototero!

I'm down to only 1 gold again in the active stats.
Congrats to all you GOLD Leaders.

Unplanned outage confirmed.
There will be a delay as support is remote at this time.

[Brucifer]

17:48 PST and I cannot connect to Free-DC Stats. Is this still part of the outtage planned or unplanned?

[vaughan]

Its down until Sunday I think. Bok must be travelling somewhere as he would normally get a hardware issue fixed pronto. Maybe he installed the SSD he was considering and as I've found from my experience with them, it died. Let's home he gets the site back on the air soon.
