mailserv down
 

Apr 20 2002 - mailserv will be down for maintenance from 7:00 PM Saturday 4/20 to 2:00 AM Sunday. During the outage, any attempt to access a mailbox on mailserv (e.g. through Eudora) will fail, and mailserv will not accept email. As usual, mailbox contents will be preserved and email destined for mailserv will be queued.

 
     
ADSM back up
 

Apr 10 2002 - ADSM is now once again available for use. The software upgrade was not going to work today, so I backed it out, and will try again on Monday.

No permanent changes were made today.

ADSM down much of the midday Wednesday, April 10
 

Apr 10 2002 - The ADSM backup server will be down much of the mid-day today for a software upgrade. This is to update the server software from Version 3.1 to version 4.2.1. The exact start time will depend on when a full backup of ADSM's database, presently underway, completes. If this looks like it will go beyond mid-afternoon, we will post additional information.

We hope to gain better performance, as well as support for additional client platforms, from this new version.

Note: If you use the ADSM scheduler to run regular backups of your oncampus personal computer, be sure to check when you leave tonight and restart the scheduler if it's not running.

As of this update, the server's name will change from ADSM to Tivoli Storage Manager, however we plan to retain the name ADSM, with a new meaning, "ACCC Data Storage Manager".
