s@h network outage
Michael Sinatra
This has already been posted in alt.sci.seti, but I thought I would make
it 'official.'
There will be an interruption to network connectivity between the UC
Berkeley campus and the SSL/LHS network that carries seti@home. This
interruption will begin at 0600 PDT (1300 UTC) on 10 May 2002. The outage
will last anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the flakiness
of a particular fiber transceiver.
This is the first of (more than 2 actually) outages, and this particular
interruption is to re-home the SSL/LHS nets (with seti) onto a new router.
Subsequent outages will separate the seti traffic from the SSL/LHS nets.

Michael,
thanks for the info.
Are there dates set for the other HW maintenance outages? (besides the 16th
that is)
since you mentioned "more than 2" :)
and thanks for keeping us updated from the CNS side.

Seems like it's still underway, at 12:40 PST. At least something is down
because I can't connect at home or at work. No worries (I _really_ like
SETI Driver).

I may have jumped the gun in saying that there WILL be more than two. I
think there might be, but it's also possible that Thursday's outage will
be the only remaining one. The Thursday work will be more complicated and
probably take longer. We'll need to re-jigger the network topology so
that we can then segment the s@h traffic from the rest of the SSL/LHS
traffic. There will be people on both ends of the SSL <-> campus
connection (I'll probably be at SSL) making both physical and logical
changes simultaneously. After that, most of the remaining work will be
just configuration changes. Whether that leads to more outages depends on
how Thursday's work goes and how disruptive any remaining changes will be.
I have to think it through some more... :)

I'm reading more/more about network interruptions and personnel that
are NOT using public servers. With all the problems that are floating
around, why are people still attempting to directly connect w/ SETI
Berk? Doesn't it make since to pick a Public Server and stick with
it?
So far, I've bounced between a couple and have had nothing but praise
for those individuals caching wu's for personnel like us, who cannot
access the Berk site.
Besides that, I'm screwed and stuck on dialup, and I tell you, I
REALLY APPRECIATE Nascar and SKZDALIMIT for their public servers, they
have helped me out numerous times! Thanks people!
