We had a failure of all of 18.78 (33, 35, 37) this
evening beginning around 18:21. The problem was
resolved at 19:56.
Cable strain dislodged a fiber optic transceiver.
The cables were rerouted and the AUI connector latch
was tightened.
All appears fine at this time.
Many of the Sun workstations in the B37 cluster tried
unsuccessfully to reboot themselves during the trouble
period; Matt and I rebooted them manually.
