Monthly maintenance for January involves several services:
1. Jenzabar EX and MyEMU: a brief outage of 10 minutes or less.
2. Media storage: a system that hosts data for the Marketing department, printshop, and online podcasts will be unavailable for an extended time while troubleshooting and resolution procedures are carried out.
Information systems needs to upgrade one of our network storage systems. This system stores the following data:
* Marketing: photos, design, videos
* CJP: images
* Print shop storage
* Podcasts storage
These drives will be unavailable during the outage.
We expect that several outages will be required based on previous experience
with this system. We want to schedule the first outage during the work week to
access timely vendor support. We will try to minimize the disruption caused by
future outages.
The Illiad and SGadmin servers need to be shut down to enlarge their disks. This will affect Sophos and the interlibrary loan system. The outage should last about 15 minutes
We have updated the expected scope and duration of this Saturday’s (18 Feb 2012) scheduled third-Saturday information systems maintenance outage.
We expect outages for the following systems between 8am and 11am on the 18th:
* EMU web site and server
* email and calendar services
* file servers and services
* copiers and printers
* computer labs
* Moodle learning management system
* myEMU
* Student Information System (EX)
* Library catalog server
