[LTER-hbr_grad] Short Hubbardbrook.org outage

[Mary Martin]

Hubbard Brook grad students,
A major upgrade to the facility that houses the hubbardbrook.org server
will be happening on June 30. The initial
plan was to keep web servers online during the upgrade, but it turns out
now that they will not be able to do that.
The outage will occur at 7am, and could last from 2-5 hours.

Hi,

There has been a major change in our plan for the June 30th data center outage. We will not have any backup battery power, as the test must shut off all power to the racks.

This means we will not be able to keep any servers online for the duration of the test.

Shutdown of systems will start at 7am and the anticipated downtime is 2-5 hours.

We will do our best to keep the network online.

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [RCC-Announce] Morse Hall Data Center Downtime 6/30/16

A new fire suppression system is being installed in the Morse Hall Lenharth Data Center, a shutdown is required to install EPO (emergency power switch)that will cut power to the data center in the event the suppression system is manually activated. We are also required to do a door test of the system for certification and acceptance. While these two events may not require the full day shutdown, we have it scheduled for June 30 starting at 7am and going until 3pm.

All non-critical systems will be powered off at 7am on June 30th, including the CRAY(trillian) and the new HPC(premise). We will do our best to keep the network hub, primarily email servers and web servers running, but if hear or power issues arise we may be forced to shut them down also.

Another email will be send as the date gets closer or if any changes to the date or starting time.

Questions should be directed to ops at sr.unh.edu

-Mark
