All, If you feed from UW-AOS, please fail over to an alternate until further notice. I upgraded the BIOS on the RAID card in f5 on at the suggestion of Dell support, and now it is not booting. I am hoping to get this resolved soon, will update when I can. Sorry for the outage.. Pete >From address@hidden Fri Oct 24 13:18:11 2003 All, Just a quick update on f5.aos.wisc.edu. The machine has been up and ingesting data since about 1:30 AM CDT (06:30 UTC). I think it's safe for anyone to fail back over to us now. Who would have imagined that a raid card firmware upgrade would wipe the boot record off the boot disk. Booting off a rescue disk and reinstalling the boot record for grub solved the problem. Also, with the upcoming UIUC downtime this Sunday, if anyone needs a failover site please contact me with what data feeds you need and what your machine is.
