PLANNED CS IT SERVICE OUTAGES

WHEN: Tuesday, August 19 through Friday, August 22

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

DETAILS: We will be upgrading our Linux clients from Fedora 40 to Fedora 42. 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 lab machines whose numbers are integer multiples of five (ugrad5, ugrad10, ugrad15, ugrad20, masters5, masters10, and masters15) have already been upgraded (those are the staging systems we mentioned in a recent email to the CS faculty and students), so those will remain available throughout the week. The upgrade schedule for the remainder of the systems will be as follows:

• On Tuesday, August 19, ugrad1 through ugrad12 (located in MH-122) will be upgraded (...except for ugrad5 and ugrad10, which are already done.)
• On Wednesday, August 20, ugrad13 through ugrad24 and masters1 through masters16 (located in MH-G61) will be upgraded (...except for ugrad15, ugrad20, masters5, masters10, and masters15, which are already done.)
• On Thursday, August 21, ugradx and gradx (remotely-accessible only) will be upgraded.
• On Friday, August 22, ugradz and gradz (remotely-accessible only) will be upgraded, along with any systems we were unable to upgrade earlier in the week.

Expect each system being upgraded to be unavailable between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm on the days for which it's scheduled. If a system remains unavailable after 4:00 pm on its scheduled day, this CS IT Support Wiki's Notices page will be updated with the appropriate information.
