Irix template not activated

[drl_irix]

Hi.

I requested a new template account on SGI Irix. I got the information page with the connection information.

I can connect to, for example, to hp with my hp account name, but I cannot connect to irix mail, webpage, etc. with the irix name.

What have I missed?

Thanks ... cheers, drl

It is not your fault... during the summer some of the servers cannot stand the high heat in the server room.
Typically the Itanium server are closed down during this few month period.
Earlier summer went well for the IRIX server - but during the winter the server was struggling with the fans. Seems the new fans are not good enough to handle the Swedish summer.
I am sorry.

The good news is that the Swedish summer is really short.

There is even a joke about that.

Two swedes are talking:
- we had a beautiful summer this year
- yes, I have heard. Unfortunately, I have missed it. I was in the cinema.

Hi, Zoli.

OK, understood: you are at about 60 degrees, and here we are at about 45 degrees. I don't know why the Swedes that settled here in Minnesota thought it was "like home". (My mother's side of the family is Swedish).

I read: In general, summers in the Stockholm area have similar temperatures to the south of England, but more days of sunshine. -- https://naturetravels.wordpress.com/200 ... -and-snow/

Will I need to submit another request when Irix is back up?

Thanks as usual ... cheers, drl

No need for that. Your request is queued. Once the server is online it will be created.

Meanwhile you may use some other hosts that are less sensitive.

Yesterday I did a rearrangement of the servers in the server room to optimize the cooling and started up the IRIX server.

Now the accounts are created.
