Network Outage for All Parkwoods Buildings – Wired and Wireless

About 9:00pm the Parkwoods manager called to report there is no wired or wireless network in all of Parkwoods.

Status of outage will continue to be carried on this outage report.

09/18 7:00am: First level trouble shooting occurred between 7am and 8am Sunday morning. Parkwoods components appear to be functioning properly. Second level support will need to come on campus to troubleshoot up-stream components. This technician will arrive between noon and 3:00pm.

09/19 13:45: Root problem found and corrected. Service restored about 1:45pm, Sunday, 09/18.

Faculty/Staff P: and G: Drives Unavailable Fri, 09/16, 5:30PM

UPDATE: The migration process has completed successfully.

All faculty and staff need to logoff by 5:30pm in preparation for Info Systems move of P-drive and G-drive data from Novell servers to Microsoft servers as part of the EMU systems migration from Novell to Microsoft.

It is important that employees logoff which prevents file changes to P: and G: drive data during the file migration process which begins at 5:30pm on September 16th and will conclude sometime on Sunday, September 18th.

Other online systems such as the following, will NOT be affected by this outage:

* Internet access/wireless access
* Student access to lab computers
* Printing
* Email
* Oracle calendar
* Web servers
* Moodle
* myEMU
* Astra Schedule
* SIS/EX (except PowerFAIDs users who are dependent upon G-drive for some functions)

Off-campus access to network files via NetStorage will NOT be available during this outage.

Faculty and staff will NOT be able to login to LAB and TEACHER WORKSTATION computers.

Check this outage status page for updates during the weekend of September 16-18 for the latest on this file migration process. We are hopeful that the process will be completed sometime Sunday afternoon, 09/18.

09/18 12:30PM: “All-Clear” given by Network Systems team. Email will be sent to faculty/staff by Jack.
