[Sisuite-devel] [Fwd: systemimager.ci.uchicago.edu down]

Dear ***@uchicago,

sorry to bug you again, but the server never came back again and it's
still down. News? Any chance to manually reboot it?

Thanks,
-Andrea

Dear ***@uchicago,

the host systemimager.ci.uchicago.edu seems down (not ping-able nor
telnet-able).

In these past days we've had a lot of out-of-memory problems. Now
we've configured the server to prevent OOM conditions (using a script
that restarts apache when the memory is getting low) and in case the
OOM can't be prevented the kernel automatically reboots after a OOM
trace. Unfortunately this doesn't seem enough...

Please, could you check if the server is down due to another reason
(not OOM, I mean, if there's a console which is the message on the
screen?) and try to manually reboot it?

Many thanks,
-Andrea

Ti,

The search is in progress. Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

I think I have a machine identified, and hope we can get it ready to swap
out within 2 weeks.

-Brian

David, can you reboot systemimager.ci when you get in on Monday? It's
the HP right near con.

Brian, it may be time to look into replacement hardware for this
machine.

Note that it needs to be a 1U machine.
