CS IT SERVICE OUTAGES

UNPLANNED CS IT SERVICE OUTAGES

Issue with Grad Net Self-Service File Recovery

  • WHEN: Started around October 30, 2020
  • WHAT: Intermittent errors while using self-service recovery
  • DETAILS: The /users/backup directory used for Self-Service File Recovery on the CS Grad Net Linux clients may be sporadically unavailable, due to a software bug. Although you may still attempt the self-service recovery, until further notice, if you need a file restored and are having issues accessing the /users/backups directory, please request restoration from our offline backups.

    We are working on getting a fix for it, but it might be some time before that fix is available.

    NOTE: Self-Service File Recovery continues to be available on the CS Ugrad Net.


PLANNED CS IT SERVICE OUTAGES

Planned outage with Webmail on www.cs.jhu.edu

  • WHEN: Wednesday, April 14 from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm
  • WHAT: During the scheduled time period, people using the department's webmail service may be logged out and will have to log back in. This might happen more than once during the time period.
  • UPDATE: As of 2:40 pm, the maintenance is complete. If you were perviously logged in to the webmail, you might need to log out and back in again (or just log in again), but no further interruptions should occur.
