sandbox-iosxr-1.cisco.com Always-On Connection Refused

[gcoe95]

I'm getting a connection refused when SSHing to sandbox-iosxr-1.cisco.com an IOS XR Always-On sandbox device. It was working fine an hour or so ago. Any ideas on how to fix this? Is there a way that we can request the box to get rebooted?

I've tried from my home broadband and an LTE connection. I'm almost certain the problem isn't my end.

IT'S NOT YOUR END , they have been having issues , Since last weekend , i'm
sure they have been bombarded with helpdesk emails
for Sandbox issues

I checked this morning, the XR AO is up and working. Typically the automation reloads the box/router with always-on after a period

Thanks - Yes I did notice it had come back. It's useful to know that they do get reloaded periodically.
