:{{red|CS IT will handle many computer account issues now '''remotely''', via email (never send passwords through email, though!) or Zoom. So, please make sure you have [https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Zoom Zoom] installed on your computer or mobile device. And, plan to have your J-Card in-hand. (If no J-Card, you'll at least need a picture ID.) If you have any questions, please email [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu] }}



A CS Linux account provides:

:* A Linux shell and disk space for ''course work'' and ''light research''.

:* A CS-based [[:Category:Mail | email address]].

:* Directory space to [[:Category:Webpages_and_Webservices | host a webpage]].

'''''NOTES:'''''
* A CS Linux account ''is not'' related to a JHED account. (JHED accounts are part of JHU's own accounts system.)

* The [[Linux_Clients_on_the_CS_Grad/Research_Net | CS ''Grad Net'' Linux client computers]] and [[Linux_Clients_on_the_CS_Undergrad_Net | ''Ugrad Net'' Linux client computers]] are similar in terms of the software/applications installed, ''but they use '''separate''' user accounts. ''

* All CS accounts '''must''' be pre-approved by a CS faculty member from this [https://www.cs.jhu.edu/faculty CS Faculty member list] '''''unless'''''...
** a student is a direct CS student (i.e., a CS PhD, CS Masters, or CS Undergrad student)
** a student is taking a CS course taught by a [https://www.cs.jhu.edu/faculty CS Faculty member] and is on a course list provided to CS IT Support directly by the faculty member or by CS Academic Advising.
** the account applicant has some other CS affiliation and will therefore need approval by CS Dept administration.


 
Below, you'll see the process to obtain a CS ''Linux'' account for access to the [[:Category:Computers_Available_on_the_CS_Network|Computers Available on the CS Network]].

==Obtaining The CS Account Form==



You can download a copy of the [https://www.cs.jhu.edu/formfiles/newacctform.pdf CS Linux/Windows Account Form] from our [[Forms]] page.

Once you've downloaded it, come back to this page for further instructions.

 

==Filling Out The CS Account Form==




Please print and fill out the form '''''COMPLETELY''''', and '''sign both sides of the form'''. ''Please be legible.''

(Some of you might edit the PDF directly, but you still need to sign both sides of the form before submitting the form.)

You then need to obtain any [[#Signatures|authorized signatures]]. {{red|(Please see our updates to obtaining signatures in that section below.)}}

Additionally, make sure you list your [http://www.it.johnshopkins.edu/services/email JHU-assigned e-mail address] on the account form. Many of our CS mailing lists use that address.

There is a section there for ''Permanent (non-JHU/non-CS) Email Address''. Please fill that in. Note: If you will not be accessing your CS email directly, we encourage you then to [https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Forwarding_Mail forward] your CS email to an address you do check frequently (whichever is your preferred email address... it could be your permanent email address or your @jhu.edu email address) so that you do not miss any emails that may be sent to your @cs.jhu.edu email address. 

Under “Local Address”, please list your local resident street address while attending (or working at) JHU. 

 

===Indicating Your JHU Affiliation Type===

The CS Account form requires you to choose your JHU affiliation.

===== Grad Student, Faculty/Instructor, Staff, Researchers, or Postdoc CS Computer Accounts =====
:On the CS Linux/Windows Account Form, if you're a ''CS Grad student'' or ''CS Faculty/Instructor'', ''Staff'', ''Researcher'' or ''Postdoc'', please make sure you've checked off that you want a '''Linux Grad''' account, which will supply you with your CS e-mail address and an account to access the [[Linux Clients on the CS Grad/Research Net|Grad/Research Net Linux]] computers that are supported by CS IT (including the Linux computers in the Master's Lab).

:If you are teaching or TA'ing a CS Undergrad Course, and, as a result, also '''''require''''' a CS Ugrad account for yourself, you can check off '''Ugrad Linux'''. But, if you do end up needing a Ugrad account, please realize that your CS Grad/Research Net account is your primary account (email, webpage, etc.) And, the Undergrad Net machines are subject to [[Disk Quotas|disk quotas]].

:''CS Grad students'' (PhD and Masters) should also indicate their expected graduation year on the form next to their student affiliation.

:''CS Staff members:'' In addition to checking off the Linux box you should also check off the ''Windows'' box at the top.

:'''''If you already have a''''' '''Grad/Research''' Linux account, and then ''later'' '''''require''''' a '''Ugrad''' Linux account (TA'ing a Ugrad course, for instance), please fill out the form again indicating which other accounts you need,  You'll fill in your current username after the '''''"Already have a CS acct..."''''' line on the form. (It might be helpful to write something along the top of the form indicating "Requesting an additional account.")

:'''''If you already have a''''' '''Ugrad''' Linux account, and then later, become part of the CS Graduate program (Masters or PhD) and are applying for a Grad Linux account (which is probably why you're reading this section now), please fill out the form again indicating which other accounts you need, You'll fill in your current username after the "Already have a CS acct..." line on the form. (It might be helpful to write something along the top of the form indicating "Requesting an additional account.") However, if you do get a CS Grad/Research Net Linux account, your CS Ugrad Net e-mail will no longer be in service (although, you will have access to your old e-mail). You would now have CS Grad/Research Net mail. If you're receiving a Grad account, you should move your Ugrad files over to your new Grad account and let us know, so that we can remove your Ugrad account.

===== CS Undergrad/CS Minor Student Accounts =====
:If you are a ''CS Undergraduate student'' or ''CS Minor student'', you will need a CS Undergrad Account to access the [[Linux Clients on the CS Undergrad Net|Undergrad Net Linux]] computers.


: CS Undergrad/Minor students should also indicate their expected graduation year on the form next to their student affiliation.

:'''''If you already have a''''' '''Ugrad''' Linux account, and then later, become part of the CS Graduate program and would need a '''Grad''' Linux account, please fill out the form again indicating which other accounts you need,  You'll fill in your current username after the '''''"Already have a CS acct..."''''' line on the form. (It might be helpful to write something along the top of the form indicating "Requesting an additional account.") However, if you do get a ''CS '''Grad/Research''' Net'' Linux account, your ''CS '''Ugrad''' Net'' ''e-mail'' will no longer be in service (although, you will have access to your old e-mail). You would now have ''CS Grad/Research Net'' mail. If you're receiving a Grad account, you should move your Ugrad files over to your new Grad account and let us know, so that we can remove your Ugrad account.

:Note: CS Linux  machines have [[Disk Quotas|disk quotas]]. Please remove files you no longer need on your account after you are finished with them.

===== Class/Course Accounts =====
:If you are provided a ''class account by your instructor, or if you apply for one yourself'', please note that class accounts are up for removal after the semester is complete.

:'''''If you already only have a''''' '''CS class account''', but have entered into the CS Undergrad program, you are eligible to obtain a '''CS Ugrad''' Linux account, To do so, fill out the CS Account Form again from scratch, but this time, follow the section above for CS Undergrad/Minor students.. (But, do indicate somewhere along the top that you had been using a class account and what that account is.)

:Note: CS Linux  machines have [[Disk Quotas|disk quotas]]. Please remove files you no longer need on your account after you are finished with them.

===== Concurrent Students =====

:If you start as a ''CS Concurrent Student'' (grad/ugrad at the same time) or if you were already a CS Ugrad student with a CS Ugrad account and become a Grad student, please make arrangements with CS IT Support to obtain a ''CS Grad/Research Net'' Linux account, if you'd like. However, if you do get a ''CS '''Grad/Research''' Net'' Linux account, your ''CS '''Ugrad''' Net'' ''e-mail'' will no longer be in service (although, you will have access to your old e-mail). You would now have ''CS Grad/Research Net'' mail. Your CS Ugrad account, however, will remain while you have a Grad account, until you graduate.

===== Other =====

:If you're not sure you fit into one of the listed categories on the form, ''for example "research scientist"'', please choose "Other" and specify your position within JHU, and a reason you need the account, if applicable. You will still need to get an [[#Signatures| authorized signature]] on your form.
 

=== Choosing your CS Account Username ===

:{{red|'''NOTE:''' We do '''not''' change CS usernames/accounts once created.}}

:'''''CS Faculty, Instructors, Staff, Post Docs, Researchers, and some others:''''' You can generally request your own username. You should request up to three possible usernames, and we will use what we can, depending upon what's available. However, we highly recommend you choose to make your CS account username the same as your JHED ID.

:'''''CS Ugrad, Masters, and PhD Students:''''' A CS username will be assigned to you, based upon your current JHED ID.

:'''''Non-CS students taking a CS Course:''''' We will assign you a special course-based username for your CS course account. ''That course account will only be valid the semester the course is taught and will be removed upon course completion.''

:'''''Others:''''' When in doubt, your can choose to request us to use your JHED ID username as your CS username too.
 

== Signatures ==

We require '''at least two''' and up to '''three''' signatures on each account form.
*You will sign the '''front''' of the form ''and'' read and sign the '''back''' of the form.
*Several of you will also need to obtain an '''authorized signature''' as appropriate (and as described on the form.) {{red| But, read below for changes in this policy.}}

{{red|'''UPDATE:''' In recent years, we had made some changes regarding signatures, and those changes are still in place... Instead of you having to obtain the authorized signatures on the form, in several cases (for example, students), we will take care of that for you. Please see below for details. '''''(So, all you need to do is fill out the form, make sure you sign both sides, ''read the section below about any signatures needed'', obtain any required signatures, per below, and then [[#Submitting The Account Form| submit the form to us]].)''''' }}

* ''CS Grad (Masters & PhD) students:'' You ''do '''not''' need'' an authorized signature. We will obtain any approvals for your account from CS Admin staff. Just make sure '''you''' sign the front and back in the appropriate spots. 

* ''CS Undergrads/CS Minors:'' You ''do '''not''' need'' an authorized signature. We will obtain any approvals for your account from CS Admin staff. Just make sure '''you''' sign the front and back in the appropriate spots.  

* ''CE (Computer Engineering) students:'' You ''do '''not''' need'' an authorized signature. We will obtain any approvals for your account from CS Admin staff. Just make sure '''you''' sign the front and back in the appropriate spots.

* ''Non-CS student taking a CS class:'' Until further notice, you do '''not''' need your CS professor (CS Faculty/CS Instructor) to sign the form. '''Your account will last for the semester.'''  {{red| '''NOTE:''' }} Under the Non-CS Student section, if you're taking a CS course and you list your Course name and #, in that same section, '''please also list your CS professor's name''' as well. This will speed up processing.

* ''New CS faculty/instructors/staff:'' Please get '''Laura Henneman''' or the '''CS Dept. Chair''' to sign your account form. 

* ''Postdocs, visiting faculty, or research scientists, etc.:'' Please have a '''CS Faculty Member''' (or possibly, '''Laura Henneman''') sign the form. 

* ''Students from other depts that are not associated with CS who are requesting a CS account on our system:'' You must have a [https://www.cs.jhu.edu/faculty ''CS Faculty''] member sign the account form. That CS Faculty member is sponsoring your account. If you're an undergrad student, you would have access to our ''CS Ugrad Network'' systems. If you're a grad student, you would have access to our ''CS Grad Network'' systems. {{red|We will attempt to obtain this approval for you, however, you need to indicate somewhere on the form '''which''' [https://www.cs.jhu.edu/faculty CS faculty] member will sponsor your account. You do may need an authorized signature, as long as we are able to obtain any approvals for your account. Just make sure '''you''' sign the front ''and'' back in the appropriate spots for your account. If you choose to gather the authorized faculty signature yourself by sending your filled-out/signed form to the faculty member to sign, then please have that faculty member scan and email the completed form to [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu]), that will speed up processing.}}

If you have any issues regarding signatures, please email [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu] to discuss alternatives.



 

==Submitting The Account Form==




*First, make sure you ''signed'' '''both''' sides of the form. Also, if you need to, obtain any [[#Signatures|authorized signatures]]



* Please '''scan both sides ''into a single'' pdf.''' Then, attach the pdf to an email and send that to [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu]
:::{{red|'''''IMPORTANT NOTE 1:''''' When you email the account form to us, please have the '''''Subject Line''''' include '''''your name''''' and the words '''''"CS Account Form"''''}}
:::{{red|'''''IMPORTANT Note 2:''''' When you send your filled-out and signed account form to support@cs.jhu.edu, if possible, '''''please send it from a JHU-based email address''''', to make sure it will get to our team. Obviously, if you don't have a JHU-based email address, that's ok too... just send from an email address you have. But, again, we prefer it coming from a JHU-based email address to ensure its delivery to us.}}

::'''NOTE:''' If you don't have a scanner, you can always use an app like [https://www.camscanner.com CamScanner] on Android and iPhone or [https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210336 Notes app] on iPhone. As a last resort, you can ''neatly'' take a photo of both sides of the form.





== Processing your CS Account Form And Receiving Your CS Account==



'''''Please allow at least 2-3 business days for your account to be created, as we have to obtain the authorized approval.'''''

* After your account is created, you will be contacted ''via e-mail'' at one of the e-mail addresses you listed on the form (so, check all of them) by [mailto:steve@cs.jhu.edu Steve DeBlasio]. He will send you instructions for pick-up of the account information, which will now be done remotely.
::{{red|'''BE AWARE: If you are expecting e-mail from the CS IT Support team, and if you use [http://www.gmail.com Gmail], make sure you check your Gmail Junk folder. Gmail likes to file some e-mails from CS into Gmail Junk folders.''' }}

* {{red|For remote account pick-up, as mentioned above, Steve DeBlasio will provide you instructions. He will meet with you over [https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Zoom Zoom] Please make sure you have Zoom installed on your computer or mobile device. And, you will need to have your J-Card (or other picture ID if you do not have a J-Card) in-hand, as he will need to see it when you meet with Steve via Zoom.}}




==''Do Not'' Share Your CS Password!==
:Please don't share your CS account password with anyone. No one else ever needs to know your account password, not even CS IT Support. If you're requesting information about an account, you can just give the account name; that's enough for authorized people to look up information about the account. Sharing the password with other people is potentially a security risk.

:Even if you think the person you're contacting is trustworthy, since they should never need your password, it's good practice to never send it (not even via email or text.) That makes it impossible to accidentally send it to the wrong person, among other things.

==And finally...==

If you have any problems filling out the account forms or have not received notice that your account is ready in a reasonable amount of time (at least 2 ''business days'' after submitting the form), please email [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu].

* After your account is created, you will be contacted ''via e-mail'' at one of the e-mail addresses you listed on the form (so, check all of them) by [mailto:steve@cs.jhu.edu Steve DeBlasio]. He will send you instructions for pick-up of the account information, which will now be done remotely.
::{{red|'''BE AWARE: If you are expecting e-mail from the CS IT Support team, and if you use [http://www.gmail.com Gmail], make sure you check your Gmail Junk folder. Gmail likes to file some e-mails from CS into Gmail Junk folders.''' }}

* {{red|For remote account pick-up, as mentioned above, Steve DeBlasio will provide you instructions. He will meet with you over [https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Zoom Zoom] Please make sure you have Zoom installed on your computer or mobile device. And, you will need to have your J-Card (or other picture ID if you do not have a J-Card) in-hand, as he will need to see it when you meet with Steve via Zoom.}}




==''Do Not'' Share Your CS Password!==
:Please don't share your CS account password with anyone. No one else ever needs to know your account password, not even CS IT Support. If you're requesting information about an account, you can just give the account name; that's enough for authorized people to look up information about the account. Sharing the password with other people is potentially a security risk.

:Even if you think the person you're contacting is trustworthy, since they should never need your password, it's good practice to never send it (not even via email or text.) That makes it impossible to accidentally send it to the wrong person, among other things.

==And finally...==

If you have any problems filling out the account forms or have not received notice that your account is ready in a reasonable amount of time (at least 2 ''business days'' after submitting the form), please email [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu].

:'''MH 122 ''UNAVAILABILITY'''''
::'''WHAT:''' MH 122 (and its breakout rooms) will be '''''closed''''' for the summer due to a CLSP workshop being held there.
::'''WHEN:''' Wednesday, June 10 through Wednesday, August 12. And the computers in that room will be moved from there to remote-only on June 10. On Thursday, August 13, the room becomes available to CS again, with ugrad1 through ugrad12 and the lab's printer returning to the room on sometime during August 12 and August 13.

::'''NOTES:'''

:* The MH 122 Linux systems, ugrad1 through ugrad12, will continue to be available, '''''but only remotely via ssh''''' ''until'' they are moved back into MH-122 in August.

:::On 6/10, we will be transferring the computers from MH-122.

:::On 8/12 and/or 8/13, we will be transferring the computers back to MH-122.

:::During the transfer times, ugrad1 through ugrad12 may not be available.

:*Please see our page on: [[Linux_Clients_on_the_CS_Undergrad_Net]] https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Linux_Clients_on_the_CS_Undergrad_Net for a list of our remotely-available Ugrad Linux systems.

:* The printer in MH 122 will be ''unavailable'' during this time, but it too should be back in MH-122 on 8/12 or 8/13.

:* The G61 Masters/Ugrad Lab will be closed permanently. Please see the G61 Lab section notices below...


:'''MH G61''' (CS Masters/Ugrad Labs) is available for in-person access '''but''' '''''closing permanently''''' '''on June 1, 2026'''.

::After many years of operating a CS Masters Lab and a 2nd Ugrad Lab in Malone G61, we will be closing G61 (as it's being repurposed.) G61 will be no longer be a CS IT-administered computer lab starting '''Monday, June 1, 2026.'''

::For the CS Masters students, our new plan is to make access to the masters/grad Linux systems fully remote. We will still have masters lab space (a collaborative space), but that is being relocated to Malone Hall 316 (sharing with the MSSI lab), and without the masters Linux computers available as desktops, as they had been in G61. (Well, for a short period of time, we will plan to have four of the masters systems --masters1 thru masters4-- configured as desktops and remotely-accessible in MH 316. Eventually, though, those desktops will go away.)

::For our CS Undergraduate students, MH-122 will become our only CS Ugrad computing lab, with the twelve active Ugrad systems, Ugrad1 through Ugrad12 remaining as desktops in that lab. So, that room/lab will remain configured as it currently is. The other Ugrad systems, ugrad13 through ugrad24 are being retired.

::Most CS students have already been accessing the masters and ugrad Linux computers remotely. To compensate for the loss of those computers and their computing power, we plan to bring two new, powerful remotely-accessible compute servers online, one for the CS grad/masters students and one for the CS undergrad students, similar to gradx and ugradx. And, we're hoping to have them in place by the beginning of the Fall semester.

::In this new paradigm for CS academic computing, you'll be using your own computer to access our systems remotely, via ssh and vnc (vnc will allow access to a Linux desktop), without console access as had been the case in G61 (except, as stated, MH-122 will continue to operate its Linux desktops that are also remotely accessible.()

::'''NOTES:'''

:* All of the G61 Linux computers (masters and ugrad) will be shut down the morning of June 1.

:* Four of the masters Linux computers (masters1 thru masters4) will be moved into MH 316, and we hope to have them running that day, but they could be delayed.

:* The current G61 printer will also be moved into MH 316 on June 1 or shortly thereafter.

:* The dept will be working on a plan to transfer J-Card access from MH G61 to MH 316. If there are issues, we will let you know.

:* MH 316 also houses the MSSI lab, and those MSSI computers will '''not''' be accessible to CS students (unless you are part of the MSSI program.)

Steve410: /* OVERVIEW */

== OVERVIEW ==

There are several main protocols or methods of retrieving your CS dept. e-mail from your own computer.

''(Note that not all the mail clients listed below are located on our CS Linux and Windows machines.)''

* IMAP ([https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ '''Thunderbird'''], [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-com/ '''Outlook'''], [https://support.apple.com/mail '''Apple Mail'''], [http://projects.gnome.org/evolution '''Evolution'''])

* POP ([https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ '''Thunderbird'''], [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-com/ '''Outlook'''], [https://support.apple.com/mail '''Apple Mail'''], [http://projects.gnome.org/evolution '''Evolution'''])

* Mbox Format: Two mail clients are in use here ([http://www.washington.edu/pine '''Pine''']/[http://www.washington.edu/alpine '''Alpine'''] (they are the same program now), and [http://projects.gnome.org/evolution '''Evolution'''] -- A GUI-based email client, available while sitting in front of one of our [[:Category:Computers Available on the CS Network|CS Linux computers]]. You can run '''Evolution''', which is set to directly read your ''CS'' inbox, with no imap or pop configuration needed.

* Remotely: via ssh ([http://www.washington.edu/pine '''Pine''']/[http://www.washington.edu/alpine '''Alpine'''] -- they are the same program now]) -- ssh into one of our [[:Category:Computers Available on the CS Network|CS Linux clients]], and run '''pine'''

* Through our CS [[Webmail|Webmail service]], available for both our Grad/Research Net and ugrad Net users.

* '''NOTE:''' CS IT Support '''does not''' configure individual's email clients.

Steve410: /* NOTES: */

==INTRO==

The Computer Science Dept at JHU hosts '''''its own CS email service''''' (addresses of the form '''''@cs.jhu.edu'''''). This category provides documentation on various aspects of our CS email service.

== But Doesn't JHU have their own email system?==

That's right... '''JHU''' itself offers various types of its own email services as well, depending upon whether you're faculty, staff, students, etc. Your department administrator can make sure a JHU email address has been created for you. Your JHU email address is essential to have, as many JHU administrative emails are typically sent to your '''''@jhu.edu''''' address by default (although, you can forward those messages to an alternative address, e.g. a CS email address.)

Please see our [[JHU_Exchange-based_Email_Service| page on JHU's Exchange-based Email Service]] for more information about their service, how to configure it, and who to contact if you're having issues with setup or access to it.

==So, why a CS email address?==

* You might choose to utilize the @cs.jhu.edu address as an identity, specifically associated with the CS department, as many other universities' Computer Science departments have.

* CS email also offers custom automatic mail-folder filing for incoming mail (using, for example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procmail procmail].)

* CS email provides configurable [[:Category: Spam_Filtering_At_CS| spam-prevention/management capabilities]] (for example, [[SpamAssassin | SpamAssassin]])

* CS email provides compatibility with any [[:Category:Receiving_Email| IMAP/POP-supporting]] mail client, not just ones with OAUTH2 capabilities.

==Having both a CS and JHU Email Address==

You can have both a '''CS email address''' and a '''JHU email address''' at the same time. But, we recommend you [https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Forwarding_Mail forward] whichever address you consider your secondary address to your primary address. (If your preferred email address is your ''own'' personal email address, you might want to forward your CS and/or JHU email addresses to that address instead. However, as you'll see in the mail forwarding section, [https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Forwarding_Mail#Consider_Not_Forwarding_Your_CS_Email_To_Outside_of_JHU forwarding your JHU or CS email to an outside address might not be advised].)

===NOTES:===

:* Having a [[:Category:Accounts | CS Linux account]] automatically provides you a ''CS email'' address.

:* For users CS's email service who have '''both''' a CS Grad Linux account '''''and''''' a CS Ugrad Linux account, your CS email will '''default to your CS Grad account'''''.

:* Official CS or JHU-related email is sent to your JHU @jhu.edu email address by default. So, if you have both CS and JHU email addresses, make sure you monitor both addresses (or [https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Forwarding_Mail forward] one to the other.)

:* CS IT Support '''does not''' configure individual's email clients.

==Problems with your JHU or CS email service?==

:: ''If you have issues with ''JHU's own email services'', please contact the [https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Contacting_JHU_IT_Support JHU Help Desk].

::If you have questions/problems regarding ''CS's own email service'', and you've already looked through the [[:Category:Mail|Mail]] category of this website, please email [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu] with as much info as you can to help us answer your question or troubleshoot your email problem.

=== PLANNED CS IT SERVICE OUTAGES ===



====(Potential) Outage #1====
:'''WHAT:''' Potential CS IT service outages due to a JHU-planned cooling outage in our server room...

:'''WHEN:''' Saturday, Feb. 21, 8pm until Sunday, Feb. 22 4am.

:'''DETAILS:''' JHU Facilities just announced to us that they will be performing a chilled water outage from this Saturday (2/21) at 8pm until Sunday (2/22) at 4am. When this happens, our CS server room loses cooling ability, and that can negatively/adversely affect our server hardware. Without cooling '''we may need''' to resort to shutting down a variety of our servers (and their services) to protect them from overheating.

:If you notice any of our CS IT services become unavailable Saturday evening into Sunday, it might be due to the cooling outage. Check back here for updates.
 

====Outage #2====

:'''WHAT:''' Major CS Grad/Research Net & Ugrad Net IT services outage to perform maintenance on a server...

:'''WHEN:''' Tuesday, February 24, from 6am to 8am.

:'''DETAILS:''' We need to perform some maintenance on one of our servers. This will take approximately 2 hours to complete. During this time, several our of Grad/Research Net and Ugrad Net IT services will be unavailable. Below is a list of the services affected...

:'''CS IT Services That Will Not Be Available During The Service Outage:'''
* CS Mail service, both incoming and outgoing, will be suspended for CS Grad/Research Net users. And some CS email services will not be available for CS Ugrad Net users. Incoming mail should be queued by the sender until our mail service is back up again. Outgoing CS mail will not be available to Grad/Research Net users, but since CS Ugrads can send through the JHU mail server, CS Ugrads might still be able to send email during the services outage (just not from our lab computers or compute servers.)

* IMAP, POP, and webmail (for both Grad/Research and Ugrad accounts) will be unavailable.

* No locally-stored CS webpages will be available. The main CS website (run by WSE) may or may not remain accessible. If you have a personal or lab CS page that we maintain locally in the dept, those will be unavailable. The CS IT Support Wiki and its Notices page will remain available.

* All CS Linux user accounts and home directories on both the Grad/Research and Ugrad Nets will be inaccessible during the service outage.

* ssh service to our Grad and Ugrad Linux clients (masters1 through masters16, ugrad1 through ugrad24, gradx, ugradx, gradz, and ugradz) will be unavailable.

* Console (desktop) access at any of our Linux client systems will be unavailable.

* SMB (SAMBA) File Shares (the CS Office Staff and some others use these) will be unavailable.

* MySQL service via the mysql.cs.jhu.edu server will be unavailable.

If there are any unexpected complications during the configuration changes that will delay the restoration of services, we will update the CS IT Support Wiki's Notices page at: https://support.cs.jhu.edu/wiki/Notices
