Hi guys, 

I've been trying to access http://testdrive.apc.com for a couple weeks but it's always unreachable. Does anyone know if there is an alternative?

Thanks,

Hi Aline,

i believe they are in the process of moving the equipment and hopefully getting more. I have no exact ETA but I do know it is being worked on.

Someone plans to look at the test drive server today.

Per Steve's previous comment, there are plans to move test drive to another location.

Hi folks, Just FYI, it's up now although I did not test everything.

Hi all!

The above resource is still not available. Does someone know the approximate availability time?

Very thanks for the support.

I will check with the local team to see why its offline.

Yes, I understand. The entire test drive environment is offline and is being moved to a new location. I will update this link again when the functionality has been restored.

Hi Greg

Thanks

Sorry Ed. I'll find out where it stands. It must be close as I know hardware was being added to it over the last week.

(CID:128759610)

[DCIM_Support]

Hello Ed (and others).

I'm being told the final changes to the new testdrive environment are being completed and the environment is expected to return to an online status within the next couple of weeks.

It has been moved to a new facility and some of the equipment is being updated.

The same happens to me.

Do you know when it may be available? (testdrive.apc.com)

I have to do a demo on a client next week, and it looks like it's not going to be ready.

Any idea? Thanks

I checked with the local team. Testdrive is currently down due to a hardware problem. The test drive environment is being moved to a new lab which will have a replacement test drive server. This means the environment will be offline for at least a few more days.

I'll re-post when the environment is running again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Team,

This was originally identified on the 3rd September.  Can we have an update please

(CID:126167516)

[DCIM_Support]

The testdrive server you're trying to connect to is offline due to a hardware problem. The testdrive equipment is currently being relocated to an alternate lab location where a new server is already in place.

I will get an update regarding its status and estimated return to general availability and will re-post to this thread.

(CID:126167511)

Hi Team:

Any news about the status of http://testdrive.apc.com?

Thanks,

(CID:126172819)

I have asked for an update. I will post a response when I have more info.

Greg

Quick update. Testdrive is still offline and probably will be for at least a few more weeks. I will re-post an update when I get one.

ok - I understand that there are issues.  However it is worth noting that this was first logged on the 5th September ........

[DCIM_Support]

Hi Greg, been a long time since last post and even longer since the site was down.  I tried to access the site.  I wonder if there's anyone working on it?  I know it's not your responsibility but could you a) please find out an ETA and b) impress on the responsible team and their manager that a lot of people make use of the site (and I suspect many more than those who've contributed to this thread).

Thanks for your efforts on this thread and all the other you've helped on

Cheers

Hi Greg, 

Thanks for the update, but most of the products are "unavailable". The link "Evaluate now" is grey out. The only product I could see was AP7821B. Do you know why this is happening?

Thank you!

Are you able to access testdrive now? I have seen reports from others they can successfully access DCE and the devices attached to DCE.

Regards

Greg Sterling

(CID:133367621)

[DCIM_Support]

Hi Greg, 

Yes, I'm able to see the devices on DCE but the others devices on testdrive.com I can't see, like InRow SC, Smart UPS, Ap8861, KVM. They are all unavailable. 

Thanks

(CID:133367653)

[DCIM_Support]

Ok. We are still building out the hardware portion as the testdrive environment has changed buildings so its in a new lab. I'll see what we can do about adding more hardware.
