[IDD #AQC-617871]: Local Data Manager Question: UCSD aeolus not pulling data

Hi Mary,

re:

Aside from the fire that was only 3 miles from my house and caused the
evacuation of LOTS of folks in the area, the summer has been very nice,
thanks.

Wow, I didn't know this (or, at least, I forgot).  Congratuations!

I just checked, and aeolus is not reporting real time LDM statistics either:

http://rtstats.unidata.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/rtstats/siteindex

Just so you know, it used to report statistics back to us, so this is
a new situation.

This is indicating that the LDM on aeolus is not able to contact the
LDMs on its upstream feed hosts.  This is typically the result of 
something wrong/different with networking like a new firewall block
for outbound traffic to port 388 on the upstream feed hosts.

re:
> When you have time would you please provide some help on this?

The fact that 'rtstats' is no longer reporting real time stats back to
us reinforces the notion that something has changed in the network setup
either on aeolus, or in the domain where it lives.

I just tried to SSH to aeolus, and I get no response.  If nothing has
changed in the domain in which it lives, perhaps it simply needs its
network services restarted:

<as 'root'>
service network restart

If the machine is up and accessible from other UCSD subnets, it would
suggest that something has changed in a firewall somewhere, and that
is preventing aeolus from communicating with the outside world.

Cheers,

Tom
