grid.org was down temporarily this afternoon due to a problem that we experienced with one of our IP loadbalancers.

Downtime lasted approximately 2.5 - 3.0 hours until the loadbalancer problem was resolved.

Also, please note that another Human Protein folding batch has been released by our partner and is being loaded on grid.org immediately.
2005年11月13日
由于IP分流器中的一个出了问题，今天下午grid.org当了。
当机持续了大约2.5 - 3.0小时，直到分流器的问题得以解决。
另外，新的Human Protein folding任务组，已经由我们的合作伙伴发布了，马上会往grid.org上上传。

Here is the weekly status...

Grid.org upgrade: Grid.org will be physically moving to a new facility in the next week. This will provide better reliability and is part of the Grid.org migration. There was a small outage this weekend due to some hardware maintenance that was performed in preparation for the facility move. Please note that next weekend there will be some additional outages. Grid.org must be completely powered down in order to move. This will include the forum, member web, and the grid itself. Since this is not a trivial outage, we cannot give an exact time that Grid.org will be down. The outage will take as long as it takes.

Rosetta: We have received a new batch of Rosetta data that we are in the process of uploading currently. Since the last batch is taking so long to process, we will continue to allow results to be uploaded for a while. Hopefully this new batch will be more in line with the previous batches.

New cancer data: Some progress has been made. The workunit processes without error and does produce limited output. We have an engineer working with this to make sure we are getting the results we expect.

Thanks to everyone for your contribution.

这是本周周报...

Grid.org升级: 在下星期Grid.org将转到一个全新硬件平台之上。它将更可靠，是Grid.org迁移计划的一部分。由于要为平台迁移做一些准备性的硬件维护，本周末会有短时的停机。请注意下周末将还会有一些另外的停机。为了迁移Grid.org必须完全地关机。这将包括论坛，用户页面，和grid自身。因为这不是可预测的停机，我们无法给出Grid.org确切的停机时间表。停机将按部就班的进行。

Rosetta: 我们接受了新一批Rosetta数据，我们当前正在上传中。因为上一批的计算时间很长，一段时间内我们将继续允许其结果上传。希望这一批比前一批更符合要求。

新癌症数据: 取得了一些进展。任务计算没有错误，生成了相当多的结果。我们有一位工程师正在确定我们取得的是否是我们期望的结果。

感谢大家的贡献。

There is some sort of an issue with the current Rosetta job. It does not seem to want to dispatch any workunits. We are currently investigating this and hope to have an answer shortly.
2005年11月15日
当前Rosetta任务出了点问题。不分配任务。我们正在检查，希望能尽快找到问题所在。

We had a problem with both the Rosetta and cancer jobs getting into a bad state. This appears to be related to the reboot we had to do the other day. We believe the problem to be fixed now. I have personally download both a Rosetta and a cancer workunit and everything appears to be working.
2005年11月16日
Rosetta和cancer任务都有无法下载的问题。究其原因可能与前次重启所导致。我相信现在问题已经得以解决。经我个人测试，正常下载了Rosetta和cancer任务各一个，好像一切正常了。

Since this is not a trivial outage, we cannot give an exact time that Grid.org will be down. The outage will take as long as it takes and it may be a day or two before everything is back online.

It looks like Grid.org is back up now. I have seen posts that workunits
are being downloaded so I think everything is working correctly. If you
do encounter any strange behavior please post to Member to Member
Support so that we can investigate.

Our entire facility move has not completed yet, so there may be another
interruption at some point although I am not expecting one. As soon as
I have more information from our IT department regarding the move, I
will share it.
2005年11月21日
好象Grid.org现在在备份。我看了帖子，任务包已经可以下载了，因此我想一切
正常了。如果您遇到任何奇怪的事情，请在Member to Member Support区发帖以
便我们能调查。

我们的整个设施移动还未完成，所以随时可能再次中断虽然我也不想这样。如果
我从我们的IT部门获得更多关于移动的信息，我将告诉大家。

Nov 21, 2005
There still appears to be some sporadic outages. We will just have to
wait for the official "all clear" from our IT department.
2005年11月21日
仍会有一些零散的停机。我们必须等我们IT部门的官方"完工"声明。

Here is the weekly status...

Grid.org upgrade: The physical migration of Grid.org to the new facility has been completed. There were a few hiccups over the past few days, but everything should be running fine now. For those who care, the "cannot connect" errors that some members were experiencing were due to a problem with one of our border routers that has since been resolved. That is why some members were having no issues while others could not connect at all.

There was a comment about the new hardware on one of the member threads that was not correct. Grid.org was physically moved, but remains on the old hardware. We are not ready to move to the new hardware yet as we have not finished our acceptance testing of the new software release. Also note that the applications running on Grid.org will need to be ported to run on the new version of UD software before we can move to the new hardware as well. We had some maintenance done on some of the old hardware to reduce the possibility of another failure until we can move to the new hardware.

Rosetta: Rosetta workunits stopped dispatching for a while earlier today. This problem has been resolved and I verified that I am now able to grab a Rosetta workunit.

Stats: There appears to be a small problem with stats missing for yesterday. I will get the stats job resubmitted shortly so that should be cleared up by tomorrow.

New cancer data: I do not have any new information on this. With the holidays and the move, there has not been any additional work done on this since last week.

这是本周周报……

Grid.org升级：Grid.org的搬家工作已经完成了。在过去几天期间里时常出现问题，但现在应该一切恢复正常了。说些大家关心的事，一些用户遇到了"cannot connect"错误，这主要是由于我们的外部路由中的一个出现了问题所导致的，不过现在已经修复了。所以有一些用户没有问题，而其他人却根本不能连接。

用户论坛中关于新硬件的有一个评论是不正确的。Grid.org位置移动了，但仍在老硬件平台上。我们还没有准备好移向新硬件平台，因为我们没完成对我们即将发布的新版软件的验收测试工作。并且注意只有运行在Grid.org上应用程序更新为新版UD软件后，我们才能移向新硬件平台。不过我们对老硬件进行了一些维护以减少其在移向新硬件平台前的当机几率。

Rosetta：今早停发了一会儿Rosetta任务。问题已经得以解决，并且我个人测试成功下载了一个Rosetta任务。

统计：昨天统计出了点问题。我马上会重新提交统计数据，明天就应该恢复正常了。

新癌症数据：抱歉我没有任何消息。因为假期(译者注：感恩节)和搬家，上个星期一直在忙，也就没空弄它了。


P.S.：要发布新版客户端，爽啊！希望官方能把FAAH也整合进来，实在不喜WCG的客户端，内存根本拖不起。

We have incurred a major outage at our new facility due to a bad circuit breaker. This caused everything including the forums to be down for a while. We are in the process of recovering now. All of the servers are still not up which is why everyone is getting the backing off message. This will be corrected as soon as possible.

This outage is not related to the old hardware, but an issue related to the facility move. We did not anticipate this outage, but with a facility move of this magnitude, some temporary glitches are not surprising. Please bear with us while we work through these issues and again thank you for your contribution.
2005年11月29日
由于一个坏开关我们的新家遇到了大电荒。这导致一切包括论坛要停一阵子。我们现在正在恢复中。所有服务器都没开，这就是为什么大家会收到无法连接的消息。我们将尽快恢复。

这次停机与老硬件无关，但还是与搬家有或多或少的关系的。我们也不想停机，但以这次搬家的规模而言，出现一些临时的小故障是不足为奇的。当我们努力解决这些问题时请耐心等待，我们对您所作的贡献，再次表示由衷的感谢。

P.S.：D2OL就是因为搬家，搬到一蹶不振，搬家一年来问题不断，导致大量用户流失。
      希望UD不要步D2OL的后尘！！

Here is the weekly status...

Grid.org upgrade: Now that the move is complete, we continue to work on the new Member Web release. There have been many issues identified that are being fixed. Since the final release has not been delivered yet, that is holding up acceptance testing on the new hardware. It is a good thing that QA is being very thorough with this release and we expect it to be very solid.

Rosetta: There was an issue with the Rosetta job over the weekend. For some reason it quit dispatching. I had our DBA reset the job a couple of times, but it did not help. To resolve this issue, we had to reload the job. Everyone should be able to grab a Rosetta workunit now. I verified that I was able to grab one this morning.

Stats: Stats were rerun for the missing day and everything should be caught up now.

New cancer data: I do not have any new information on this. We are also looking for additional research to be run on Grid.org since Rosetta will be completed soon and the cancer issue is still outstanding.

2005年12月5日
这是本周周报……

Grid.org升级：搬家已经完成了，我们正在忙于新Member Web页面的发布工作。修正了许多已经被确认的问题。因为新的最终版客户端仍未发布，所以暂时无法进行新硬件的验收测试。有一件好事，新版本的QA非常详尽，并且我们希望它能更加稳定。

Rosetta：周末Rosetta任务出了点问题。由于种种原因它停止了任务发放。我让我们的DBA重启了好几次任务，但没有用。为了解决这个问题，我们必须重新上传任务。大家现在应该能下载Rosetta任务包了。今天早上我试了下，我下载到了一个任务包。

统计：统计中丢失的那几天数据已经重新加入了，现在应该一切正常了。

新癌症数据：我没有关于它的任何新消息。并且我们正在寻找能在Grid.org上运行的其它新项目，因为Rosetta很快将结束，而新癌症数据依然问题重重。

P.S.：希望1、官方快发新客户端吧！在FAD完工后就转UD，希望能在那时用上新版客户端！
      希望2、希望官方所指的新项目是FAAH，因为俺对WCG客户端怀有比较大的成见（本来和UD平台就基本上一模一样还要自己专门分个项目出来，真无聊。强烈建议把WCG和UD项目合并），但确实又很想参加HIV项目！
      希望3、新硬件和新客户端的稳定性，一定要大大提高才好，最近老当机，真让人不爽，“稳定”才是硬道理！

Here is the weekly status...

Grid.org temporary outage: We experienced a temporary outage last night on grid.org. This was the result of a change that was made to our web servers for our corporate web site which is being updated and was not anticipated. There was not an issue with any of the grid.org software or hardware. This was strictly a web server issue. There should be no reason that devices need to be reregistered.

Grid.org upgrade: Now that the move is complete, we continue to work on the new Member Web release. There have been many issues identified that are being fixed. Since the final release has not been delivered yet, that is holding up acceptance testing on the new hardware. It is a good thing that QA is being very thorough with this release and we expect it to be very solid.

Rosetta: A few members have had problems returning results for some of the huge Rosetta workunits. This is unfortunately due to the length of time it took to process the last batch of Rosetta coupled with the glitch we had last week that caused us to have to resubmit the Rosetta job. Hopefully this only affected a very few.

2005年12月13日
这是周报……

Grid.org临时当机：我们的grid.org昨晚遇到了临时当机。这是我们公司的网站在对我们的网络服务器进行更新时遇到的意外事故。与grid.org的软件或硬件没有任何关系。这仅仅是网络服务器的问题。所有客户端都不需要重新注册。

Grid.org升级：搬家已经完成了，我们正在忙于新Member Web页面的发布工作。修正了许多已经被确认的问题。因为新的最终版客户端仍未发布，所以暂时无法进行新硬件的验收测试。有一件好事，新版本的QA非常详尽，并且我们希望它能更加稳定。

Rosetta：一些用户在上传一些大的Rosetta任务包结果时出了问题。这不幸地要归结于上批Rosetta任务的计算时间有问题再加上我们上星期遇到的小故障，致使我们必须重新上传Rosetta任务。希望它的影响范围不要太大。

We suffered a temporary outage due to an environmental issue in our data center which caused some servers to power down. The problem has been corrected and work is once again being dispatched. This outage will not require any reregistrations.

2005年12月14日
由于我们的数据中心的环境问题，导致一些服务器当机，我们的服务器也遭受了临时当机。问题已经被解决了，并且任务继续开始发放。这次当机，用户不需要重新注册。

There is nothing interesting to report this week. With the holidays approaching all project status remains the same and will through the end of the year. Note that United Devices will be closed 12/23/05 - 01/02/06.

Please have a safe and happy holiday and we will see you back here after the new year.

2005年12月19日
这个星期没有什么有趣的事向大家报告。快到假期了，所有项目状态会保持正常直至年底。
注意：United Devices将于12/23/05 - 01/02/06暂时关闭。

预祝大家节日快乐，新的一年再见。

P.S.哦喉！这下生物类项目就剩FAH，可以让普通用户参加了！
    UD要暂时关闭！WCG太废内存！D2OL内存占用也不小，而且上传服务器还没修好！FAD又刚结束！
    兄弟姐妹们大家一起准备来FAH啦！

vmzy多虑了，这段时间他们过圣诞节，项目本身貌似没有停的迹象。

什么叫多虑？？！！！！
我说了是暂停，又没说要完全结束！
项目暂停那么久，肯定有很多机子要罢工！我指导大家一个暂时的转移方向有什么问题吗？难道让大家这几天就这么让机子空转，等项目恢复吗？？
请楼上的，以后认真阅读帖子，再回帖！！
