Thanks for pointing this out. We still have work units in the DB that points to the former vLHCathome-dev.

Download should be working again now.

Sorry about the feeder issue. We applied another update to the BOINC server code to test new job scheduling features, and missed a DB update in the process. This should now be ok.

Not sure if I follow you MAGIC, you are using the URL:

https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev/ for this dev project?


Anyway, we are trying again the server update today, so for about 30 minutes, the server will be unavailable.

There might be a couple such interventions on the dev project today, Tuesday 15th of August.

Actually the upgraded server code gives an error with the scheduler: No start tag in scheduler reply .

Will try to fix it, otherwise we'll revert back to the previous setup.

We will migrate the lhcathome-dev project to a Centos7 server and upgrade the BOINC server components.

The lhcathome-dev project server will be unreachable for a while later today during the upgrade.

We need to rebuild the dev VM as it runs out of memory. Thus the LHC@home-dev project server will be unreachable for part of the day today,

Sorry this was our fault, we had left an old vLHCathome-dev url in the schedulers.txt file in the BOINC file hierarchy.

This is now fixed, please do a project reset and update from the BOINC client to refresh the scheduler settings.

We have now got a proper certificate for our DEV server, and use the opportunity to change name to: LHCathome-dev, so please use this URL from now on for the LHC@home-dev project:

https://lhcathomedev.cern.ch/lhcathome-dev

The former test SSL URL to this project on the production server will be stopped and redirected here.

Thanks for your continued support and help!

Btw they need to at least change the message board rule there so a person with over 1 million credits can post regardless if they have any RAC this month.

I have been there since October 2004


Thanks for pointing this out. I've dug into the Sixtrack DB and removed the RAC requirement on LHC@home/Number crunching, so you should be able to post there now. (You need a tiny bit of total credit to post, so it should work for you.)

The Theory task is the same as on vLHCathome.

Thanks for all your contributions to LHC@home and keep on crunching! :-)

Thanks, the last URL is the correct one.

The first bunch of tasks were gone when you tried. We generated more, but they may be gone when you see this.

We need to check the max number of tasks pr. day pr. client and make sure this does not conflict with the Sixtrack use case where there are many short tasks pr. day.

We are currently testing the Theory simulations application on our consolidated LHC@home project.

It would be great if some of you please could test that the chain of communication with the VM etc works fine for you. In order to get Theory tasks, you will need to explicitly enable Theory simulations in your project preferences on LHC@home. (The default preference is Sixtrack only as many volunteers have not setup their BOINC clients for virtualisation.)

There will be a few tasks only for test purposes until the setup has been validated.

Many thanks for your help and contributions to LHC@home!

Thanks CP, this is the same as I see with my PC too.

Regarding the question on traffic between VMs and the CERN job management framework, there is no change at all here and firewall ports remain the same.

The scheduler and web pages of this dev project are now also published on the URL:

https://lhcathome.cern.ch/vLHCathome-dev

Please detach and re-attach to this new URL with your BOINC clients. The old project server is still running, and also the file upload and validation daemons run on the old server for now.

Later on after a test period, we will redirect the old URL. Then we will proceed in a similar way with our production project.

Post:
The BOINC scheduler has been updated to detect 64 bit machines that do not have the virtualization hardware extensions enabled. Also vboxwrapper has been updated for better error handling, and vboxwrapper 26193 is now deployed for Windows and Linux for the Theory application.

Many thanks to RomW for providing these changes!

Hmm, did you do an update for the project? For me it downloaded ok and started running.

But there is the credential issue for the VM that we should soon have sorted out with Laurence.
