Network down time for A.V. Williams 31XX Thursday April 30th 5am

We will be finishing a network equipment upgrade this Thursday, April 30th beginning at 5am for the 3100 wing of the A.V Williams Building. These upgrades will provide gigabit ethernet access for all ports that have not already been upgraded in UMIACS offices and labs numbered 31XX. The downtime is expected to last no more than 20 minutes, most workstations will only see a few short blips in service.

The UMIACS help desk in avw 3142 will be opening earlier at 8:00am to accommodate any users with problems, we will be monitoring all supported workstations and desktops for problems associated with losing their connectivity. Thank you for your patience through this outage

New OpenLAB Desktop

We have added a new mac, Koala, to the desktops available in AVW 4462. Koala is replacing our old OpenLAB mac, Grizzly, and runs Mac OS X 10.5.

 ===New [[OpenLAB]] Desktop===
 We have added a new mac, Koala, to the desktops available in AVW 4462.  Koala is replacing our old OpenLAB mac, Grizzly, and runs Mac OS X 10.5.
-===[[OpenLAB]] [[SSH]] Key Change===
-We have changed opensub01's SSH keys to match those of opensub00.  This allows for openlab.umiacs.umd.edu round robin to work appropriately.
-The new RSA Fingerprint of the key to verify is,
-:b3:dc:99:d8:ee:56:b8:51:63:bc:10:aa:4e:db:b3
-===ONStor Upgrade===
-We have found a bug that is tweaked by CIFS against the ONStor virtual file servers.  We are going to perform a system upgrade on '''Wednesday April 8th from 6pm-10pm'''.  Since we have a clustered system there should be no downtime for any of our virtual servers however you could see a performance degradation during the update because all the virtual servers will have to be running on one of the ONStors.  The major file systems that are hosted in our ONStor virtual server complex are,
-* /nfshomes
-* /fs/www
-* /fs/ftp
-* lccd NFS shares including /lccdhomes
-* lamp NFS shares
-* glcf NFS shares
-* /usr/local and /opt NFS shares for UNIX clients
