UMIACS Email IMAP Downtime July 5th 2010 10pm-2am

We are going to be upgrading UMIACS Email IMAP service that is served by imap.umiacs.umd.edu. The current chassis is off support and we are nearing its storage capacity. We will be migrating to a new chassis that has a significant additional amount of storage. Please note that while this upgrade is underway you will _NOT_ be able to access your IMAP mailboxes in UMIACS. Mail will be delayed and queued up durning the outage but will be delivered once service has been restored.

This will have no effect on our Exchange users or our users who forward their mail off site.

Please contact staff@umiacs.umd.edu if you have any issues or concerns.

UMIACS Staff Jira

We have upgraded our request tracker to Jira. Please email staff@umiacs.umd.edu if you have questions or comments.

-The outage will disrupt operations in the UMIACS data center, network connectivity for all systems in AV Williams, and power to the x2xx and x1xx wings of AV Williams. Consequently, all technical services in UMIACS will be unavailable during this time.  We will begin shutting down our services at 9pm on 6/12.   Please note that services from other units including OIT and CSD will also be effected.
+This will have no effect on our Exchange users or our users who forward their mail off site.
-We will make every effort to bring core services back online before 2am on 6/14/2010.  We hope to have all services back online by the start of the business day on Monday 6/14/2010.
+Please contact staff@umiacs.umd.edu if you have any issues or concerns.
-We regret the disruptive nature of this work but the scope of work necessitates a complete outage of the data center.  Please send mail to [mailto:staff@umiacs.umd.edu staff@umiacs.umd.edu] with any questions or concerns.
