Same problem. Similar config. Any resolution?

But why is it used? Specifically Squid. Do you know?

Doh.

I had searched for threads to answer these questions but I didn't seem to find this one. Thank you for posting the link.

So it appears the one that is suggested is Squid, but why? Is it for it's reverse proxy capabilities or because its free...? There could be better solutions than Squid and like I said I am also in need of some fail-over capability.

Thoughts?

Hello All,

This is for both Win and Linux but I opted to post here instead of there...

I am looking for a proxy solution to handle several nodes running 48wu at a time. Presently my list has come down to Squid, Varnish, and NGINX; with NGINX being more of a web server that can proxy. I would also very much like to set up with fail-over capability as well.

Presently all my other projects are able to run on the nodes(48-56 threads per) in my racks but I can't do the same for either LHC or CPDN. Hence the proxy...

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi,

Does anyone know how big(actual unit of measurement) the Atlas working database is? I had a failure to connect to "/cvmfs/atlas.cern.ch/repo/sw" and lost some WU and it has me curious as to how big it is...

Cheers

Thanks for the advice. I will look into this further tomorrow.

In the meantime, do you know if port forwarding could help with the networking side of things?

The nodes in question are on a separate electrical service than the one that services the gateway so a powerline adapter is not an option either unfortunately.

Thanks for the reply...

What do you mean when you ask what my values are? DL/UL are not throttled...

There is no way to get to these machines other than wifi. Currently on an Orbi mesh which provides plenty of bandwidth I believe. I have about 14Mb Up

I too am having this issue. All of them so far are CMS.

2x nodes of the following:

2x E5-2695v2 w/192GB
Microsoft Windows 10 Professional x64 Edition, (10.00.19041.00)
BOINC Ver: 7.16.11
Virtualbox (6.1.12) installed, CPU has hardware virtualization support and it is enabled
No other projects running other than LHC@home
*Have tried 60m between tasks and 6000m - no difference
*No suspension settings
*800GB available, 100GB~ being used.

Example:

What is the vetting process for teams new to LHC?

I see. Well then I won't worry about it. I can't remember the last time I had seen this and I have noticed that the "estimated time remaining" indicators have not always been super accurate. I can see more clearly now the process as it is how it has been described thus far.

Cheers,
Colin

I have a bunch of new theory apps running who's estimated completed date is well past the due date. Should I continue with these or cancel them?
