[ISG News] Hostname change for D-PHYS print server
by Axel Beckert 28 May '13

28 May '13

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Hostname change for D-PHYS print server' Historically the D-PHYS print server has been accessible under the host name printer.ethz.ch. As it turns out, this name violates ID's DNS rules and they have requested we change it. We therefore have modified all references pointing to printer.ethz.ch to now address printer.phys.ethz.ch. We have incorporated some technical solutions that redirect many connections automatically, and also our managed workstations have been migrated, but there might be individual configurations that need manual intervention. So if printing stops working after Wednesday evening, you might have to change the print server address -- see our printing documentation. If you are used to typing just printer instead of the now longer full host name, you may want to change to domain search list on your computer, too. For details about how to do this, see our documentation in the wiki for Windows and for Linux.

[ISG News] Short Mail, License and Condor Server Downtime on Thursday Evening
by Axel Beckert 15 May '13

ISG News has posted a new item, 'Short Mail, License and Condor Server Downtime on Thursday Evening' We will perform a maintenance reboot of several infrastructure servers on Thursday, 16th of May 2013, starting around 5pm. This will cause a downtime of all e-mail related services (receiving + sending mail, accessing webmail and non-cached mails) as well as the license server for IDL, the control server for Condor grid computing, and most hosted virtual machines. We expect the downtimes to be short and sequential.
