Server maintenance - Friday 17th April

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

One of the ResNet servers is feeling a little under the weather, so we're going to have to take it offline first thing tomorrow
to run some diagnostics to confirm that the problem is what we think it is before we can log a hardware fault report.

The following services will be unavailable from 8:30am-10:30am, Friday 17th April 2009.

My ResNet
In-Room registration system
Wireless ResNet
download.resnet.bris.ac.uk/pub (ResNet software archive)
www.bris.ac.uk/slink url shortening service
www.resnet.bris.ac.uk browser redirection - the actual content at http://www.bristol.ac.uk/is/computing/advice/homeusers/resnet will remain available.

Currently registered connections will continue to function normally.

We will update this post when the maintenance is complete

Update: 09:42
Maintenance is now complete, and service has been restored.

Scheduled Maintenance - 16th April 2009

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

Information Services are carrying out some essential systems maintenance on the 16th April 2009, 08:00-12:00 which affects the following ResNet systems:

My ResNet
ResNet in-room Registration System
ResNet Helpdesk troubleshooting tools (including those used by the out of hours helpdesk)
ResNet Network Monitoring system (the traffic lights on the ResNet home page)

All fully registered ResNet connections will continue to function normally throughout this maintenance period, so most people won’t notice anything.

There are several other University systems which are also affected by this maintenance, for more details see the IS News website: http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/news/2009/oraclepatch17march.html
