CTS Announcements & System Status

This mornings system fault caused irreparable damage to the MeetingMaker database. We have been forced to revert back to this morning’s backup. As a result, users will be prompted with a message informing them that the MeetingMaker server has been restored from backup. You will need to “Revert” your calendar in order to successfully connect to the MeetingMaker server. Any MeetingMaker changes made since approximately 04:00 this morning (4:00am) will need to be re-entered.

Related to the previous outage, MeetingMaker is currently unavailable. Engineers are aware of the problem and working towards a solution, no ETA is available at this time.

A system fault in a critical storage component required an extensive error-checking process that created a non-trivial service outage of many campus services. At this time, the fault has been resolved and all services should be running normally.

A failure in a critical storage sub-system has resulted in outages to several campus services. Systems Engineers are working to resolve the issue, no ETA is available at this time.

To clarify the phrase "there may be no data..": it is believed that critical network components serving the buildings listed below will remain online. The previous notice was purely cautionary in nature, and we expect no service outage outside of Stowell Hall itself. > Per the below notice from Physical Plant, Stowell will be losing > power. During these outages there may be no data, HVAC or fire-alarm networking in > Stowell, Timerman, Brainerd, Barrington, Maxcy, Crane Complex, Thatcher, all > Residence Halls and Extensions, and the Presidents Residence.
