 +
 
 +
:JHU is experiencing email issues with it's @jhu.edu mail services due to a global outage at Cisco.  This affects both incoming and outgoing email messages to external recipients.  It also impacts systems that send email through JHU's email gateways.  Expect major mail delays until this is fixed.  (We suspect that those with @jhu.edu addresses can still send and receive to others with @jhu.edu addresses.)
  
 +
:'''''UPDATE:'''''  JHU has implemented a work-around to the email problem, and email delivery has returned to normal.

::<span style="color:#ff0000">'''NOTES TO MALONE HALL RESIDENTS:'''</span>  During the time of the outage, we're assuming most building lights will be out and the J-Card system might be out too.  That might make it more difficult to get into the building during the outage.  But with the power out, we're not sure how much need there will be for anyone to be in the building during that time anyway.  If you have an office refrigerator, expect that to be out too.  If you are counting on your UPS (battery-backup) systems to continue powering your office equipment, keep in mind the expected length of the outage (an hour) and plan for a longer period of time, just to be safe.  And keep in mind that your office phones may be inoperable during the outage.  So please plan in advance for this outage.

CS IT STAFF AVAILABILITY

  • The CS IT Support staff is back in Malone Hall. Our group is working a hybrid schedule with some of us working remotely on certain days, while others of our team are on campus.
  • We continue being available M-F, 8:30 to 5pm, but there may be certain times we might be online only.
  • Therefore, please remember to email support@cs.jhu.edu for assistance.
  • Also, please have Zoom available on your device(s), so that we can arrange to contact you using that method, as an alternative to in-person communication.
  • For the time being, Steve DeBlasio, our accounts liaison, is providing a virtual version of his daily office hours for accounts, etc. Email support@cs.jhu.edu for details.
