A windows process which doesnt closed caused a bluescreen on the machine. I have used the time to install the latest updates. Now all should be back to normal.

There was a short power cut due a big storm here. Everything should be back to normal.

The database crashed over night, Iam trying to reduce the size by purging some files. Only a restart of the server helped to get back all normal. I think we hit the upper limit again due a lot of WUs.

My email account was blocked 2 times this week due hacking attempts, I have changed the password again. This also affected the notifications on the server so if you dont get any in the last days pls check your account.

What a bad day, at the end the VM dont reacting anymore during WU creation. Need to check where it was cutted, restarted...

Around 1000-2000+ input files were empty. This was strange. If you are getting errors then you got some. The new batch has an _a behind.

Update:
I think there was a memory issue (hit the limit) and nothing worked anymore correctly.

The project was away. 2 SSDs were gone also the project SSD. Thats not a good sign. The mainboard doesnt recognized both SSD anymore. After a few restarts they are all online again. The health is still 100% so it must be something with the mainboard. Lets see for how long.

Update:
Could also be the SATA cable. Need more observations.

Is the RAID controller on a riser card?

Could be small increase in transfer resistance at the contacts.

One of the Cisco's didn't boot after sitting during the summer, reseated the RAID and it's worked fine since.

No raid, all ssds are hanging on the SATA ports.

Got a Freeze with Bluescreen Memory Management. I hope the RAM is still ok. Restart looks ok.

There was an unexpected server crash while running a program in the background. Still investigating.

Update:
stopped the program for a while. Also found a bad host trashed the results (TOP1 host). This host was blacklisted and credits were deleted. There are a lot of WUs need to be rerun later.

There was a massive slowdown of the host system, the firewall was updated in the background and got a higher CPU load. After a server restart all seems to be fine again.

Sorry for the short outage.

There could be a massive slowdown of the internet connection. Has someone else seen this by connecting to the project?

I need to restart the VM, something Database related is very slow.

Sorry for the timeout, the firewall need to be reinstalled due an error, updated also the graphics driver.

Still have a slowdown on the database, still investigating...
