Forced Reboot of FS Novell File Server

Faculty/Staff (FS) Novell file server became unresponsive. Unusually high CPU utilization. Forced SHUTDOWN/REBOOT.

This incident appears to have been caused by an attempt to delete a corrupted Powerpoint file by a user. Network Administrator will have to delete this file immediately following a restart of FS at some point in the future. Until then the user has been instructed NOT to attempt to work with the file in any way.

NS and STAPPS rebooted

Servers NS and STAPPS were rebooted due to an error when running dsrepair. NS’s problems was not able to find the files – in which rebooting was the easiers fix. STAPPS’s problem was it hung while running DSREPAIR. All network access was still there, but backups would not have occured.
