CTS Announcements & System Status

Tonight from 22:30-23:30 (10:30-11:30 pm) blogs.potsdam.edu will be unavailable in order to facilitate system maintenance.

On Saturday, 11/27, there will be a campus-wide power outage from 7AM to 7PM for pre-cogeneration maintenance of the campus electrical system. CTS has decided to bring the entire campus data network and services down for the duration of this outage, and is announcing an outage window of 5AM to 9PM on 11/27.

Difficulties with network registration on the administrative network should be resolved at this time.

Early this evening the Helios file server went unexpectedly offline. Support personnel were notified and service was restored as soon as possible.

The campus administrative network (offices, printers) will undergo maintenance tomorrow morning (10/9) at 6:00AM, window to last approximately 45 minutes. Brief network service interruptions can be expected during the window. Labs and wireless service will not be affected

A software anomaly caused atypically high load on the campus webserver which resulted in the unavailability of www/www2/www3/blogs and any other web service hosted on the campus webserver. At this time, the anomaly has been resolved and services should be functioning as usual.

Between 9:00PM and 11:59PM this evening, the campus data network will experience an outage that may last upwards of 75 minutes, with residual network anomalies lasting up to two hours.

Banner/BearPAWS/HR Time Accounting are now available.

The Database Server that services Banner/BearPAWS/HR Time Accounting shutdown unexpectedly. Services should be restored shortly.

Various campus services will undergo a series of brief rolling outages today as maintenance and security updates are applied to underlying systems.
