Planned outages

MAJOR upgrade of blaze, one of our main CS servers, as well as moving other servers into new rack locations, will create a 6-hour planned downtime for the Grad/Research Network.

Outage will begin at 12am (midnight), Wednesday, 8/14 and last until 6am Wednesday.

During that time, the following services will be unavailable:

  • Email in or out on the Grad/Research Net will be disabled. (Connections to smtp.cs.jhu.edu and pop.cs.jhu.edu will fail during that time. However, incoming mail to CS should queue at an alternative server.)
  • Email on the Undergrad Net will be disabled during this time (as CS Ugrad e-mail addresses are registered on blaze.)
  • DNS, when using blaze as your only DNS server, will be unavailable. blaze is the dept's primary DNS server, however, DNS should fail over to a secondary DNS server, if you have one defined. If you don't have a secondary server in your computer's DNS defined, please add 128.220.2.7
  • Grad/Research Net user accounts/home directories will be inaccessible during the downtime.
  • Access to any of our Grad/Research Net linux clients (including gradx and masters1 through masters16, as well as Dr. Smith's pllab machines that we maintain) will be unavailable
  • peregrine.cs.jhu.edu (our Solaris login server) will be unavailable
  • Our mysql server, mysql.cs.jhu.edu, will be unavailable.
  • Samba shares will be unavailable.
  • Your Grad/Research Net web pages will be unavailable. (The webserver is expected to be serving minimal pages, mostly notices, during that time.)
