December 2006

On Tuesday, December 19, 2006, we will have a scheduled downtime from 6:00am to 8:00am EST. Please note that this partially overlaps an OIT-scheduled interruption of all campus networking services from 5:00am to 7:00am EST. For details on the OIT maintenance, see their posting.

Planned maintenance:

• Room 002 network switch firmware updates.
• Minor network configuration modifications.
• Routine OS updates on some of our servers.

We are experiencing difficulties and our systems are down due to a problem with our main file system server, depot. We are working the problem but do not have an estimate for when we will be back online.

UPDATE (9:45am): Systems are back online. As a result of the trouble, there was a short window where incoming mail was bounced back to the sender. Also, expect mail to operate slower than normal for a few hours while the backlog is processed.
