[auton-users] Auton Lab System Downtime Announcement

[Michael J. Baysek]

Hello Lab,

This is a notice of some upcoming system downtime. 

What:  Primary File Server

When:   Sunday  Sep 17, 11:00 PM
Ending: Monday, Sep 18, 07:00 AM

Why: Operating System Upgrade

The following services will be intermittent during the outage window:

BigPapa Directories
LOP access
CVS and Subversion

Starting at 11:00 PM, services will be failed over to our backup 
server.  Switching services back after the upgrade will cause a series 
of intermittent hangups, so my advice is to not do any mission critical 
operations during the outage window.

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.

All systems will be restored no later than 7:00 AM Monday.

Have a good weekend!
