[auton-users] Auton Fileserver Outage, Sunday Night - Monday Morning

[Michael J. Baysek]

Hello Lab,

This is a notice of some upcoming system downtime.  The outage window 
was selected to cause the least inconvenience.

_What:_

We will be taking down our primary file server and failing over to our 
backup file server.  This is the second step in upgrading the operating 
systems on our file server infrastructure. 

Prior to this happening, the CPU will be upgraded in our backup file 
server.  Due to a number of other configuration optimizations, I will be 
working on throughout the night, you may experience intermittent periods 
of downtime during the outage window.

_The following services will be intermittent during the outage window:_

BigPapa Home Directories
LOP access
CVS and Subversion

If your desktop machine [running Linux] is set to have your home 
directory on BigPapa, this outage will prevent you from logging into 
your machine periodically throughout the outage window.  If this case 
applies to you, and you need to use your machine during this time, 
create yourself a local account with a different name [from your BigPapa 
user name] on your machine, and copy any data you need to your hard drive.

_When:_

Start time:  10:30 PM, Sunday
End time:     6:30 AM, Monday

There will be another (albeit, shorter) outage window, when the servers 
will resume their original roles.  This will be announced next week.
