These upgrades will provide gigabit ethernet access for all ports that

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

We have changed opensub01's SSH keys to match those of opensub00.  This allows for openlab.umiacs.umd.edu round robin to work appropriately.

===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
