Major upgrade to Novell server software. Also affected will be the LDAP authentication supplied by our Novell servers so IMAP email will also be down. In general, most users should assume that all Network Services will be down on Saturday, 12/21. Even though mailbox access will be unavailable, no mail will be lost.

Power Outage – Ice Storm Related

The entire EMU campus experienced a 35 minute power outage this morning. All systems in the Data Center were supported by UPS and progressed through orderly shut-downs. Telephone switch was taken down manually. All systems restarted without incident. A few non-critical omissions were found in several startup configs. These were corrected.

Planned 3hr Blackboard Outage, 6hrs Reserved

Wednesday November 20, 2002 6:00am - 12:00pmBlackboard Serveradmin

Upgrade of Blackboard server hardware. Outage will most likely last from 6am to 9am. However, if unpredicted problems arise (which we believe is unlikely) additional time will be required. For this reason we have indicated the outage end time to be noon. Current status during the outage will appear on the Critical Information notice visible on the EMU home page.

15 Minute Planned EMail Server Outage
