UNPLANNED SERVICE OUTAGES


Systems Down

masters12 (grad net computer located in G61) is down due to a bad disk. Grad/Research Net users can use any of the other Grad/Research Net Linux systems until we've replaced the disk. No ETA on the disk replacement timeframe yet.


PLANNED SERVICE OUTAGES

PLANNED OUTAGE...

WHAT: Major CS Grad/Research Net IT services outage, as we make configuration changes to our new file server.

WHEN: Wednesday, August 10, from 1am to approx 7am.

DETAILS: Our new CS Grad/Research Net home directory file server, rtfm.cs.jhu.edu, will be shut down so that system configuration changes can be made to it (which will affect other CS computing services as well), early morning on Wednesday, 8/10.

As a result of this configuration change process, several of our CS services will be unavailable during the shutdown/upgrade (described below). 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

Suspended (Unavailable) Grad/Research Net services while rtfm.cs.jhu.edu is down:

  • CS Mail service, both incoming and outgoing, will be suspended for CS Grad/Research Net users (as this fileserver works in tandem with our mail server.) Incoming mail should be queued by the sender until our mail service is back up again. Outgoing mail will not be available.
  • IMAP, POP, and Webmail from our CS (Grad/Research Net) Mail server will be unavailable.
  • Some CS webpages, including user (and possibly lab and other CS pages), will be unavailable.
  • Grad/Research Net user accounts/home directories will be inaccessible during the downtime.
  • SMB File Shares (CS Office Staff uses these) will be unavailable.
  • ssh service to our CS Grad/Research Net Linux boxes (masters1 through masters16, gradx, and gradz) will be unavailable.
  • Console (desktop) access to masters1 through masters16 will be unavailable.
  • MySQL service via the mysql.cs.jhu.edu server will be unavailable.

Ugrad Net users: During the rtfm.cs.jhu.edu shutdown/configuration changes, email directed to your ugrad acct @cs.jhu.edu will not be immediately delivered. Other Ugrad Net services should remain available.
