Dear users of Nikhef (ELPROD),
A major power outage in the Amsterdam (NL) area affected the compute services of
Nikhef ELPROD. The worker nodes (but not storage or grid central services) are
currently powered off and all running jobs were lost. It also affects the
Dzero-specific LCG-RB, and the classic storage element (tbn15.nikhef.nl).
The site currently publishes (correctly but somewhat uselessly) that it can run
zero jobs, has zero free CPUs, and an almost infinite response time.
Also the LHC-OPN link through SARA seems to be affected. All storage traffic is
now routed through our public internet links, limiting bandwidth to at most 2 Gbps.
We are in contact with the utility services to restore the site as soon as
possible to full functionality. We are certain that the utility services will
solve this issue as soon as possible.
Again: no other services at ELPROD should be affected, ONLY the worker node
compute servic e (gazon and trekker.nikhef.nl).
Thank you for your consideration.
David Groep.
