Newman Lab network Wednesday morning 10 April 2013
CIT plans to re-route the backbone fiber from their old telecom room into their new Newman basement telecom room Wednesday of NEXT week, April 10. This will take the network down in Newman for about 2 hours. Work should be completed and the network should be back up before 8:00AM.
Network nodes in Newman Lab will be able to connect to other nodes located physically in Newman, but will NOT be able to connect to nodes outside of Newman Lab. This includes the samba file server. Please plan accordingly.
General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our
NewsLetter and via
CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.
Unless other arrangements have been made,
CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see
SystemExpectations.
