This is planned for tomorrow. Please refrain from using these racks . All existing slices will be removed.


Hello GENI Users,

  In the interest of GENI Users, I wish to let everyone know about stability issues with respect to the Rutgers Instageni Rack, Stanford Instageni Rack and UCLA Instageni Rack. We have been noticing frequent reboot to the physical nodes in these racks caused by some user VM process . This issue forces a reboot of the physical node causing GENI Users VM to fail or existing ones fail to boot. This issue has been ongoing since around Christmas time 2016 . We have been unable to identify the cause yet but are still working on it. We would appreciate it if GENI Users would avoid these racks


To fix the issue  we need to clear out the shared node pool at these racks. Effective today, no slices will be able to get resources on
the shared pool, and existing slices that use the shared node pool cannot be extended.

In about a week we will terminate anything that is left. Please act accordingly.

Then we will reload the shared pool with XEN 4.6 (up from 4.1.0). If all goes well, the shared pool will be back in operation by the end of next week.

Sorry for any inconvenience.
