[Research] Machine Room Shutdown Friday

[Michael J. Baysek]

Hi again,

I have updated information about tomorrow's outages.

At Friday @ 10:00 AM I will be shutting down LOP1, LOR1, LOR2 and 
relocating them out of the machine room.  I have to setup a VPN and 
change the static NAT on the firewall.  The machines should be available 
no later than 11:30.

After Friday @ 11:30 AM, if you start a job, remember to use LOP1, LOR1, 
or LOR2.  Any jobs running at 9:30 PM will be terminated when I shut 
down the rest of the machines.

Through the weekend, be sure to check the machine status page to find 
out what machines are available.  If a machine shows no statistics under 
it's name, it is not available.

By Monday everything should be back to normal.

-Mike
