Note: you should have received this from Sandy Philpott already. If
you are a member of the halld group and this is _not_ a repeat
message for you, that violates my understanding that farm users are
auto-subscribed.<br>
<br>
I won't be forwarding these anymore, so please let me know if you
think you should be getting messages directly from Sandy and are
not.<br>

<div>First on Tuesday morning, the farm computing environment

taken out of service, for troubleshooting recent ongoing
fileserver issues. (Data currently on scifs2 is being

after this server is removed).</div>

<div>Also, the interactive farm nodes ifarm1401 and ifarm1102

upgraded to CentOS 6.5.</div>

<strong>IT Maintenance Day Set for Tuesday, Dec. 15, 5-10
p.m.</strong><br>
The IT Division is planning a maintenance period for 5-10
p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 15. During this maintenance period,
all MIS applications will be unavailable while patches are
installed and the systems are rebooted. All MIS
applications should be back up and available by 10 p.m.
Also, all Common User Environment-managed web severs and
login servers will be rebooted to finalize patch
installations. A short incoming email outage will also
occur while the email servers are updated. This email
outage will be short and will last no more than 15
minutes. All incoming email will be queued on remote
servers and delivered when service is restored. Finally,
Windows and Linux patches will be released to all CUE
desktops. Plan on rebooting your desktop to finalize patch
installation no later than Dec. 18. If you have any
questions or concerns, contact the IT Division Helpdesk at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:helpdesk@jlab.org">helpdesk@jlab.org</a> or x7155.<br>
