Date: Thursday, June 12, 2014 (08:00-13:00)
Who is affected:
All users of the CS department computing.
What is happening:
We are upgrading our storage firmware, which requires for CS storage to be
rebooted. We expect that some of the SMB/CIFS clients will have to
reconnect, but NFS service will be continuous. The rest of CS services
should not be affected.
Why is it happening:
This is necessary in order to install a backup accelerator, which will
allow for us to have better support for critical applications and
workloads.
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
