The dev.mit.edu AFS server wham.mit.edu will go down for a
software upgrade beginning at 1am on Wednesday, 4/3/2002 (note that this
is late Tuesday night). The outage is expected to last approximately 2
hours, but if all goes well, wham may be back more quickly.
During the outage, all volumes stored on wham will be
unavailable, and affected clients may experience console messages of the
form:
afs: lost contact with file server 18.7.1.70 in cell dev.mit.edu
wham is also an AFS database server, so console messages of the form:
afs: lost contact with volume location server 18.7.1.70 in cell
dev.mit.edu
may also be encountered.
This outage is most likely to affect machines in the alpha and
beta clusters, and should be invisible to most Athena users. As always,
status notifications regarding the outage will be sent to the consult
instance.
