The UPS work over the weekend is completed and the machines are back up so I have terminated the temporary feed from idd.unidata.ucar.edu to the Peak Weather hosts. Thanks for making this data available to us! -jim Unidata Support wrote:
Jim, I've added *.peakweather.com into the allow lines on our cluster idd.unidata.ucar.edu. Please let me know before Friday if you have trouble. Steve CHiswellFrom: "Jim Cowie" <address@hidden> Organization: UCAR/Unidata Keywords: 200503161455.j2GEtuv2011613Thanks Steve, the off-site host we want to feed is grays.peakweather.com This machine is owned by Peak Weather Inc, a company started by the UCAR foundation for tech transfer. Please let me know when this host has been allowed, thanks! -jimJim, We will power down the UPC equipment in the RAL computer room on friday evening in preparation. We will use the existing NOAAPORT EFdata feed from atm.geo.nsf.gov, and the DVBS feed being received at LSU to send the data to our normal idd.unidata.ucar.edu and thelma.ucar.edu hosts for feeding sites, so if you have a host to feed, we will have realtime data. Just let us know the hostname you want to connect to idd.unidata.ucar.edu with if its not one of the *.edu hosts already allowed. Steve Chiswell Unidata User SupportFrom: Jim Cowie <address@hidden> Organization: UCAR/Unidata Keywords: 200503152326.j2FNQwv2012708Hi, This Friday, 3/18/05 RAL (formerly RAP) will begin powering down equipment in their computer room to install a new UPS. The outage will last until the next day, sometime in the afternoon when things will be powered back up again. As I understand it, the AWIPS/NOAAport SBN equipment will also be powered off (Saturday morning actually). Since this will terminate the local live IDD data, I'm looking for an outside host who can feed data temporarily to an off-site machine to reduce the real-time data loss. I am mainly interested in the WMO feed, if that matters. Thanks for any help, -jim -- Jim Cowie NCAR/RAL address@hidden 303-497-2831-- **************************************************************************** < Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program < (303)497-8643 P.O.
