Scheduled Downtime for CSC Machines Thursday, Feb. 21
by Computer Science Club 16 Feb '19

16 Feb '19

Hi all, There will be scheduled downtime for maintenance on many Computer Science Club servers on Thursday, February 21 beginning at 9:45 AM. Machines are expected to be up by 11:30 AM, but issues may arise that require more time to correct. The list of affected public servers is: taurine sucrose corn-syrup high-fructose-corn-syrup (hfcs) caffeine (csclub.uwaterloo.ca <http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/>) Please save all of your work as servers will be rebooted throughout the maintenance period. We also suggest you take backups for anything important. During this time, CSC email will be inaccessible but mail will be queued up and delivered after the maintenance period is over. All websites hosted by CSC will be inaccessible for a short period of time as caffeine is rebooted. CSC Cloud will also be unavailable, and any virtual machines on CSC cloud will have to be manually restarted after the maintenance window. Apologies for the inconvenience, Charlie Wang Sysadmin, Computer Science Club On behalf of the Systems Committee
