We are planning to have an outage on January 2nd, 2010, from 8:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. that same day, to upgrade EX to 3.0.5 and myEMU to JICS 7.1. SIS and myEMU may be ready before 9:00 p.m., but check this page to determine the status before attempting to sign on to either system.
EX users: You can not be in the software until you hear that it is ready to use. Else data loss may ensue.
myEMU users: You will experience an outage as well.
The transition to a new generator for the Data Center will require that some non-critical servers be taken down for a period. This should not be noticeable to non-IS users.
The Novell file servers FS and ST need to be rebooted due to printer issues.
Reboot the Novell file server FS to fix some iPrint issues.
The FS server is experiencing problems and needs to be rebooted.

The student fileserver is not responding, causing further issues with mail and other services that rely on it for authentication. We’re working on the issue now.
Information Systems will be conducting routine maintenance on core servers and network equipment. During the outage, network services will be limited or unavailable. This includes, but is not limited to, email, file server access, wireless, SIS, myEMU, Blackboard, and copying and printing.
UPDATE 2:00PM – Some issues developed during the last hour of these maintenance procedures. All technology services should be availabe EXCEPT e-mail. We now estimate that e-mail will return to service around 3:00pm today (Saturday, 11/21).
UPDATE 3:35PM – E-mail issues continue. E-mail will likely return to service about 4pm.
