Problem with SMP servers? [Resolved]

[sortofageek]

I can't get SMP work, either.

My flags are: -smp 8 -local -verbosity 9 -forceasm

where da WUs at?

[Jesse_V]

Well I guess we do science faster than they can keep up or something! In any case its too bad there issues here. My computer is unusually quiet and it bugs me that once again 95% of its processing power is going unused... Hope to see these AS/WS issues fixed soon.

[bbxxx76]

A couple of servers show that they're out of work but the general statement that there's a problem with (all?) SMP servers isn't something I can deal with. Please post your logs or at least specify which server(s) you are having trouble with.

Bruce - I don't think the log has the specific server addresses in it - see below for an example;

If you read the sticky at the top of this forum titled Troubleshooting Server Connectivity Issues (Do This First) you would have seen this.

Whenever there is a communication error, an IP address will be mentioned in the FAHlog. However, not all IP addresses are mentioned by default in the FAHlog:
IP address of AS -> By default
IP address of WS -> Will only be specified if the -verbosity 9 flag is being used.
IP address of CS -> Will only be specified if the -verbosity 9 flag is being used.

IT WORKS !!!
I just got the download a few minutes ago, it looks like it is working again guys. I guess they fixed the issue, what was it ?

[Jesse_V]

Its working now! Hurray!

[sortofageek]

IT WORKS !!!
I just got the download a few minutes ago, it looks like it is working again guys.

My previously down client just got a P6062. Somebody applied the magic. Hopefully, this one is now resolved.

[VijayPande]

Thanks for the reports. We're on it. It should hopefully be resolved now. A system went down and the redundant backup didn't have all of the SMP servers on it. We're also fixing the redundant server to avoid this issue in the future.

[shunter]

EDIT - Just as I posted this I re-booted one system and it picked up a unit - all are now running again.



I've been having same problem for nearly 8 hours now so have turned off systems as they finish which also kills off the gpu folding. Now got 3 systems off with another 1 later tonight. Logs don't give details of server only that "No appropriate work server was available" - see brief extract below

shunter, try restarting your client now.

[artoar_11]

My Linux client now received new WU. Maybe the problem is resolved

[bollix47]

Mine are slugging away again too.

[GreyWhiskers]

Back up.
