Hi, Yesterday, we changed the DNS for idd.unidata.ucar.edu to point at a newly configured cluster. The reason for the change is the site that has been housing the "old" idd.unidata.ucar.edu cluster is scheduled to undergo a week long powerdown starting this coming Monday at 6 am MDT (12Z). We have been monitoring feed connections on the real server backends for the previous instance of idd.unidata.ucar.edu, and we see that mammatus is the only system that has not moved over to the new instance of idd.unidata.ucar.edu. Because of this, we are asking that you do the following: <as 'ldm' on mammatus> -- make sure that the IP address of idd.unidata.ucar.edu can be resolved using something like 'nslookup': nslookup idd.unidata.ucar.edu -- if this looks good (IP address should be 128.117.130) then restart the LDM on mammatus: ldmadmin stop ldmadmin start OR ldmadmin restart Thanks in advance...
