Hello,

As part of PlanetLab node monitoring, we noticed the following nodes were down at your site:

%(hostname_list)s 
We're writing because we need your help returning them to their regular operation.

To help, please confirm that a verison 3.0 or greater BootCD is installed in the machine.  Then, after checking that the node is properly networked, power cycle the machine.  Note that rebooting the machine may not fully resolve the problems we are seeing.  Once the machine has come back up, please visit the Comon status page to verify that your node is accessible from the network.  It may take several minutes before Comon registers your node.  Until that time, visiting the link below will return the message 'could not find requested table - probably empty'.

        http://summer.cs.princeton.edu/status/tabulator.cgi?table=nodes/table_%(hostname)s&limit=50

If the machine has booted successfully, you may check it more quickly by logging in with your site_admin account, and running:

    sudo /usr/sbin/vps ax

If you have a BootCD older than 3.0, you will need to create a new BootImage on CD or USB.  You can find instructions for this at the Technical Contact's Guide:

    https://www.planet-lab.org/doc/guides/bootcdsetup

If after following these directions, and either logging in with your site_admin account or seeing the CoMon report of your machine, there is no need to respond to this message.  However, if there are any console messages relating to the node's failure, please report them to PlanetLab support (support@planet-lab.org) so we can help resolve the issue.   Including this message in your reply will help us coordinate our records with the actions you've taken.

Finally, you can track the current status of your machines using this Google Gadget:

Hello,

We're writing again because our previous correspondence, sent only to the registered Technical Contact, has gone unacknowledged for at least a week, and we need your help returning these machines to their regular operation.

No new slices may be created, but the existing slices and services running within them will be unaffected.

        https://monitor.planet-lab.org/cgi-bin/printbadpcus.php?id=%(pcu_id)s

We need your help resolving this issue in a few ways:  

 1. First, we need your help rebooting %(hostname)s.  Because the above PCU does 
    not appear to work, please manually reboot this machine.  If it turns out that 
    there is a problem with the PCU configuration, we can help you
    resolve that independently.

 2. If there is nothing apparently wrong with the PCU, or the mapping between
    the PCU and the host, then there is likely a problem with our bootstrap
    software on your machine.  To help us, please make a note of any text on
    the console and report it to mailto:support@planet-lab.org .  An example
    might be that the console hangs waiting for a module to unload.  The last
    reported name or any error messages on the screen would be very helpful.

 3. Alternately, if it is possible, please correcct the above PCU problem, or
    let us know what steps you are taking.  By enabling us to take administrative 
    actions automatically from PlanetLab Central without your intervention, you 
    can trade a small amount of time now for a time savings in the future. 

If the PCU is up and running, but behind a firewall, please make it accessible
from address block 128.112.139.0/24.  You can confirm that this is the address
space from which the PlanetLab Central servers run.

If the above PCU is no longer in service, please delete it by visiting:

    https://www.planet-lab.org/db/sites/pcu.php?id=%(pcu_id)s

and selecting 'Delete PCU'. You may then register a new PCU for your nodes.

We need your help resolving this issue in two ways:  

* First, we need your help rebooting %(hostname)s.  Because the above PCU 
  does not appear to actually control the above Nodes, we cannot use it to
  reboot these machines. So, please manually reboot the machine and we can 
  help you resolve any configuration errors with the PCU independently.

* Second, please check the configuration of the above PCU.  Check that the 
  PCU is physically connected to the servers that it should be able to
  control.  A common mistake is that the PCU is registered for a machine, 
  but not actually connected physically to the machine.

As part of PlanetLab node monitoring, we noticed that %(hostname)s has a network configuration error related to DNS or hostname lookups.

Find the primary node network entry and confirm that the settings are correct.  

If you use 'static' network configuration, verify that the DNS servers are correct.  If you are using 'dhcp' then you will need to confirm that the information returned for the node will allow it to perform lookups on it's own hostname.

If you change the network settings, then select, "Download -> Download plnode.txt file for %(hostname)s" menu.  This will generate a new configuration file for your node.  Copy this file to the appropriate read-only media, either floppy or USB stick, and reboot the machine.

Then, select, "Download -> Download plnode.txt file for %(hostname)s" menu.  This will generate a new configuration file for your node.  Copy this file to the appropriate read-only media, either floppy or USB stick, and reboot the machine.

There is no need to respond to this message if you're able to update the configuration file without difficulty and your node returns to normal operation.  However, if there are any console messages relating to the node's failure, please report them to PlanetLab support (support@planet-lab.org) so we can help resolve the issue.

Instructions to perform the steps necessary for a BootCD upgrade are available in the Technical Contact Guide.
