[1] Killed Optics > /dev/null these messages appear on the Console window every time I try the "run" command, in the past it was typical to see these once or twice evry few days when starting up with "run". I can ping alakai (MCC) and the CHIP GUI monitor looks normal. I got the same error messages when I disconnected the network cable to the Ethernet box behind Alakai. ___end___ **CHIP PROBLEM COMMENT BY DARRYL**: Sun Feb 13 23:43:13 GMT 2011 I "tipped" into the Alakai boot parameters by stopping an autoboot, I tried re-entering the IP addresses for Nene and Alakai, it still crashes when I try to "run". ___end___ NOTE BY DARRYL: Mon Feb 14 00:51:32 GMT 2011 Continued planning and communications for the upcoming switchover of GONG and HVO onto our new network, also prepared specialized fiber optic GBIC modules and converters for the GONG FO side. Everything looks good equipment-wise, now we need to settle on security needs for HVO and GONG and get them to prep their equipment and collaborate with me for the actual switchovers. We want to cancel the old network at the end of this month. ___end___ Mon Feb 14 01:05:41 GMT 2011 MkIV 18_38.rawmk4 18_44.rawmk4 18_54.rawmk4 19_07.rawmk4 c19_04.rawmk4 18_41.rawmk4 18_47.rawmk4 19_00.rawmk4 c18_50.rawmk4
