Who is affected:
All users of the CS Department \”cycles\” systems (soak, wash, rinse, and
spin).
What is happening:
The cycles systems will be shutdown and rebooted after a firmware update.
Why is it happening:
Due to an uptime-related firmware bug on the current cycles servers, the
systems have recently become unstable. In order to avoid a possible
unplanned outage of these systems, they will be power cycled and have the
affected firmware updated to a version no longer affected by the bug.
We will post updates to the status page: http://www.csstaff.org
as necessary.
If this downtime will cause you undue hardship, please contact
csstaff@cs.princeton.edu immediately, so we can discuss options to reduce
any negative impact. Your patience is appreciated.
Sincerely,
CS Staff
