The Athena bootp/tfp server Tae-Kwon-Leap and the NFS server
Jason will be unavailable early Wednesday morning beginning at 1am for a
software upgrade.
SCHEDULE:
Tae-kwon-leap will be unavailable beginning at 1am Wednesday
morning. The outage is expected to last less than 2 hours.
Jason will be unavailable beginning at 3am Wednesday morning.
It's outage will is also expected to last less than 2 hours.
REASON:
Both machines are being updated to Athena release 8.2.
SERVICES:
tae-kwon-leap:
DECstation installs
SGI installs
HP printer network boots
jason:
NFS service for the bitbucket locker.
IMPACT:
During the outage of tae-kwon-leap, DECstation and SGI network
installs will not be possible, and HP printers that are normally network
booted via bootp from Tae-Kwon-Leap will not be able to be rebooted.
Any such printers that are powered off during the outage will not be
able to be restarted until Tae-Kwon-Leap is back in service. All
printers that are left running throughout the outage should experience
no ill effects, however.
During the outage of jason, data stored in the bitbucket locker
will be unavailable, and clients attempting to access this locker will
experience timeouts. All data stored in bitbucket prior to the outage
will be preserved across the upgrade.
Notifications of the status of both outages will be sent to the
consult instance.
