>From: Unidata User Support <address@hidden> >Organization: Unidata Program Center/UCAR >Keywords: IDD failover IDD users feeding from thelma.ucar.edu, Users of THREDDS services on motherlode.ucar.edu: A cooling outage in the main machine room at NCAR/SCD has resulted in motherlode.ucar.edu being brought down. motherlode being offline means that: - no FNEXRAD composite radar imagery will be available in the IDD - no THREDDS remote access (i.e., ADDE and DODS/OPeNDAP) to datasets held on motherlode will be available during the downtime thelma.ucar.edu will go offline sometime soon. A replacement for thelma is being brought online at Unidata. As soon as enough time has passed for its queue to fill, the new machine will assume the duties of thelma AND will be renamed thelma.ucar.edu. If all goes well, users currently feeding off of thelma should not have to failover to other IDD relays. We will let you know if and when you need to take action. Tom Yoksas
