------------------------------------------------------------------------ D-PHYS Network Downtime due to Switch Upgrade in HPZ http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1179761305 The [1]Informatikdienste will replace the vital network switch in the HPZ building which leads to a network downtime in the HPZ building at * Thursday, 24th of May 2007 from 17:00 to about 18:30 Due to the fact that several vital D-PHYS servers are located in HPZ this means the file servers as well as the mail and web servers won't be available during that time. We recommend to stop working before 17:00 on that day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Samba (SMB) Upgrade on all File Servers http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1179175558 A security upgrade of [1]Samba is necessary on most of our file servers. The file servers with home, group and astro drives (foostock, schibe, and teutates) will be updated quite soon this week on: * Tuesday, May the 15th, 2007 between 20:00 and 22:00 During this time access to the home and group directories via SMB/CIFS will have some short interruptions. This will affect drives on winhome, windata, machome, macdata, unixhome, unixdata, and astro if accessed using SMB/CIFS -- which is usually the case on all Windows workstations as well as Mac and Linux workstations not managed by us. Additionally, the print service may be interrupted for a moment or two, too.
