'''WHAT:'''  The dept's Virtual Machine will be shutdown.
 
 
'''WHEN:''' Wednesday, January 11 from 6am to 3pm (or earlier)
 
 
We need to do some work on the VM server and will be taking it down during the above date and time.
 
 
As part of the shutdown process, we will suspend most or all of the VMs; some
 
VMs might have to be shutdown all the way instead.  And when the VM server is back up and running again, we will restart or unsuspend all VMs.  In all cases, VM owner intervention should not be needed; we can handle this remotely.
 
 
After the VM server is up and running again, VM owners will receive an announcement (and updates will be posted here), and, we do ask that VM owners check to make sure their VMs are running as expected.  Please email [mailto:support@cs.jhu.edu support@cs.jhu.edu] if there are issues.

PLANNED CS IT SERVICE OUTAGES

OUTAGE: CS Linux Lab Systems Downtime/Upgrade Schedule

WHEN: Monday, August 19 through Friday, August 23

WHAT: Subsets of the CS Linux clients will be down for upgrades over the course of the week.

DETAILS: In prepping for the new semester, we will be upgrading the CS Dept's Linux clients (our lab systems and others that are remotely-accessible-only) from Fedora 38 to Fedora 40. This will require having the clients offline during the upgrades. We'll do this in stages, so there will always be some clients available at all times.

The upgrade schedule for these systems will be as follows:

  • On Monday, August 19, ugrad1 through ugrad12 (in MH 122) will be upgraded.
  • On Tuesday, August 20, ugrad13 through ugrad24 and masters1 through masters16 (in MH G61) will be upgraded.
  • On Wednesday, August 21, ugradz and gradz (remotely-accessible only) will be upgraded.
  • On Thursday, August 22, ugradx and gradx (remotely-accessible only) will be upgraded.
  • On Friday. August 23, any systems that had to be skipped during the previous days will be upgraded. Our Notices page will have information about any such systems.
