[IDD #JRM-232824]: Loss of link to Unidata server



Hi James,

Super!

No worries.

Hmm...

This sounds like there could be a problem on aeolus.ucsd.edu.

re:

Possibly.  I will have to check the log files on aeolus.ucsd.edu to
see what it is reporting.

re:

LDM maintenance yes; hardware/network/OS maintenance, no.

re:
> Several years ago, when I needed to contact UCSD about
> their weather server,  Jeff Weber(Unidata) was handling things remotely.

Yes, the folks at UCSD were happy to let us look after the LDM.  We
offered to do this to keep a west coast relay working smoothly.

I just logged onto 'aeolus' and found LOTS of the following warnings
in its ~ldm/log/ldmd.log file:

Aug 11 15:08:20 aeolus ldmd[7187] WARN: Couldn't resolve "128.97.77.43" to a 
hostname in 16.0987 seconds
Aug 11 15:08:20 aeolus ldmd[7185] NOTE: Denying connection from "128.97.77.43" 
because not allowed
Aug 11 15:08:20 aeolus ldmd[7187] NOTE: Denying connection from "128.97.77.43" 
because not allowed
Aug 11 15:08:20 aeolus ldmd[7186] WARN: Couldn't resolve "128.97.77.43" to a 
hostname in 16.1071 seconds

128.97.77.43 should be horus.atmos.ucla.edu, but the DNS, if fixed, has 
apparently
not propagate to ucsd.edu yet.  As soon as the DNS problem is cleared, feed 
REQUESTs
show again be ALLOWed.

As far as REQUESTs from 'indra' goes, I am seeing lots of the
following:

Aug 11 15:12:12 aeolus indra.atmos.ucla.edu(feed)[8118] NOTE: topo:  
indra.atmos.ucla.edu {{NGRID|NIMAGE, (.*)}}
Aug 11 15:12:32 aeolus indra.atmos.ucla.edu(feed)[8089] ERROR: Couldn't flush 
connection; nullproc_6() failure to indra.atmos.ucla.edu: RPC: Unable to 
receive; errno = Connection reset by peer

This indicates a network connection problem somewhere between and including
aeolus.ucsd.edu and indra.atmos.ucla.edu.  This could be caused by a
bad network interface on 'indra'.

Cheers,

Tom
