I'm not doing anything. I'll check it out.

Victoria and Robin B are also experiencing problems connecting to the CiteMS. They are off-site today, so it doesn't appear to just be a local issue. Thanks for looking into it, Alan.

It looks like the hardware is okay but the "virtual server" that it's running on is down. I've reported it to the operations group and Carbie Mendoza is looking into it.

I don't know yet if it's a serious problem. Hopefully not.

If and when Carbie gets it fixed I've asked him to send an email directly to Bonnie since some of us may be in the CDR meeting when it happens.

I got the following message from Carbie at 12:12 pm

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

The server nci-ctbcitems-s1 is back up and running. Please let us know if you have any more issue with the server.

Thanks,

I checked and got the login page.

I'll hold off a bit and, unless someone reports more problems, I'll mark it resolved-fixed.

I just spoke to Carbie.

It turns out that the problem was caused by a hardware failure. The cache memory system failed on the computer hosting the old CiteMS. Carbie disabled the cache (which should make the system a bit slower, though it may or may not be noticeable) and put in a request for a permanent fix.

I'm marking this as resolved-fixed.
