The W20 machine room will be losing power for two intervals
this coming Thursday (9 July) evening, ostensibly from
2100-2200 (9pm to 10pm) and 0600-0700 (6am to 7am).
Though all SIPB servers have uninteruptable power supplies, it
is likely that the total downtime will exceed their capacity,
so some SIPB services, perhaps all SIPB services may be
unavailable to some degree during and/or shortly after the
aforementioned time windows.
Notable SIPB services affected by these outages include:
The SIPB AFS cell (ronald-ann, rosebud, and reynelda)
News service on news.mit.edu (senator-bedfellow)
Many discuss meetings (including those on charon and bloom-picayune)
www.mit.edu (the SIPB web server, dandelion-patch)
The RTFM archive of usenet periodic postings (penguin-lust)
hacks.mit.edu (IHTFP Hack Gallery server)
usenet-addresses.mit.edu
In order to conserve UPS time, some non-essential SIPB services
will most likely be shut down before the power shutdown begins,
and turned on afterward. Most users should not notice the absense of
these services, but they include:
news-transport.mit.edu (bloom-beacon)
u6.mit.edu (anxiety-closet.mit.edu)
Sorry for the short notice, this shutdown originally cancelled but
has not been returned to it's original time.
There will be a similar outage next week Thursday/Friday as well.
Please direct any concerns to sipb-staff@mit.edu.
