Red Hat pushed out the RHEL59 update this morning which caused a bunch of Linux problems:
Linuxfs was rebooted at ~9:50 am to fix NFS issues
Anyone still having Linux workstation issues should reboot before contacting Support.
All web services were restored as of 11:00 am
Samba is still broken on Linuxfs, so shares to Windows & Mac OS systems are off-line
Tonight’s scheduled maintenance has been completed.
All CBC computing services, including Windows and Linux file services, print services, and networking, will be unavailable on Tuesday, 14-Aug, from 6:00 p.m. until midnight. During this time we will perform server and network switch hardware and software maintenance. Please be aware that services might appear to be available before midnight, but availability will be intermittent.
Services have been stable since approximately 10:00 am this morning. Patches were applied to all affected systems this afternoon.
All Linux systems running RHEL5 are currently experiencing stability issues. This includes the Chemistry mail server, LinuxFS, legacy web servers, and some workstations. The mail server is back on-line, but it with likely crash again. I think I’ve figured out a solution to the issues, but it won’t be in place until late Sunday afternoon at best. –Steve Fabian
All services should be available as of 10:45 pm.
All Chemistry and Biochemistry computer services are going offline at 5pm on 12-Jun-12 for maintenance in preparation for next term, the Molecular Spectroscopy Symposium, and the CBEC Ground-breaking. Services will be restored very late that evening.
We need to perform time-critical maintenance that will require interruptions of computing services late Wednesday and again on Saturday:
– Wednesday, 14-Dec, at 11:00 p.m. the Windows file server winfs will be briefly unavailable so that we can increase allocations of various virtual resources.
– Saturday, 17-Dec, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., all central departmental computing services will be unavailable, including web, printing, e-mail, and Linux & Windows file services. Please note that users of ASC Exchange for e-mail will not experience an interruption of that service.
We apologize for the interruptions and for the inconvenience they might cause you.
After a weekend of problems, Chemistry computing services are slowly coming back online. File, print, and web services are now available. Please restart your computer if you’re still experiencing problems.
The Chemistry VPN service will be down until Tuesday.
As of 8:40 pm, we’ve complete all of tonight’s server maintenance.
