Tom Davis, Director of ACNS will be sending the following memo to the Deans,
Directors, and Chairs (DDC) list real soon now. As a courtesy to the NAG
membership, it is being posted here prior to the DDC list.
=======================================================================
On Friday, July 21, Academic Computing and Network Services (ACNS) will
oversee Phase II of electrical system upgrades at the Computer Center.
This work will require a complete shut down of electrical service in
the Computer Center machine room. As a result, many core computing and
networking services will be unavailable starting at 6:00 P.M. Barring
unforeseen problems, all core services will be restored by 11:00 P.M.
We anticipate that basic network access (both on campus and Internet
connectivity) will remain online during this outage. The following
services, however, will be unavailable:
afs.msu.edu
angel.msu.edu
lon-capa.msu.edu
magic.msu.edu
mail.msu.edu
MSUnet Wireless
For more information, including a more complete list of services that
will be affected, see http://techbase.msu.edu/viewpathfinder.asp?id=7129.
Note that Phase III of this electrical system upgrade is expected to
occur just two weeks later - on Friday, August 4, from 6:00 P.M. to
11:00 P.M. A similar disruption of services is expected at that time.
Please pass this information on to staff in your unit. Thank you for
your understanding and patience.
Tom Davis, Director
Academic Computing and Network Services
