Connections Mt. Kent disappeared |
Frank Grundahl |
All |
It was expected that local internet on Mt. Kent had disappeared. However it was in Aarhus due to IT maintenance. The FUT dome was closed by me as the interface did not work after connection re-appeared. SONG continued observing although some of the status display plots were missing. |

Stopped slony and checked no database actions was hanging on the mtkent side. Started slony again but it did not help. Solution given in the dedicated task. |
