29 Jul '10

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Short maintenance downtime of LDAP server on Mon Aug 2' On Monday, August 2nd, starting at 18:00, we need to modify our LDAP user database to incorporate structural changes needed for a new service we're currently setting up. This will cause a downtime of about 1 h, probably even shorter, that will affect user logins, email and file server access. We will post an update when things are back to normal. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this service interruption might cause.

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Short downtime for plempy, plompy and plumpy on Monday Aug 2' On Monday, August 2nd, starting at 07:00, our terminal server / computation nodes plempy, plompy and plumpy will be moved into the water-cooled racks in the HIT server room. This will cause a downtime of said machines of about 30 min. If your thin client connects to plompy or if you're performing calculations on plempy or plumpy, please make sure your data has been saved by Monday morning. After the move, the trio will enjoy the amenities of our most advanced server room that only another thunderstorm could disrupt.

[ISG News] Home Directories Outage

22 Jul '10

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Home Directories Outage' For reasons still unknown our home directory server fulen stopped serving any files via NFS at about 5:20 pm. This stopped most active Linux logins. In order to restore functionality we had to reboot the file server. As of 5:35 pm fulen is again functioning. Unfortunately, due to the necessary reboot we cannot fully assess the reason for the incident. It follows a history of poor performance that we have been investigating intensly for the last couple of weeks. We are still trying to find the ultimate cause. We apologise for the inconvenience.

[ISG News] Major outage due to water ingress

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Major outage due to water ingress' This morning around 03:00 a water ingress in our HIT server room shut down most of our essential infrastructure servers. As soon as power was back around 08:00 we started to bring our services online. Please let us know if you still experience any problems. We apologize for the inconvenience. I guess water and servers just don't mix very well. Status 12:14 apart from the BackupPC server everything should be working again.
