Info Systems will take ALL Novell servers off-line early Saturday morning, 12/6, to make system images to enable recovery from any future catastrophic failures. Details:

DATE: Sat, December 6, 2003
BEG-TIME: About 7:00am
END-TIME: About 8:30am

IMPACT: All Novell services, including network files (P:, G:, Z: drives), network printing will NOT be available during the outage period.

Also, because the EMU email server and Oracle calendar server login authentications are provided by the Novell directory service, access to the EMU email services, including WebMail, will NOT be available during the outage period.

Users WILL be able to access the Internet, Blackboard, CampusWeb and the Sadie (library catalog).

All Novell servers, except FSAPPS, should be returned to service by 8:30am. FSAPPS will remain off-line while it hardware for it is upgraded. See FSAPPS details described in a separate outage report for 12/06/03.
