<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>A reminder that this is happening tomorrow morning.</p>
<p>We have several servers and other computers in the Physics
building; these will all be shut down early tomorrow morning at
around 8am:</p>
<p><code>astroraid</code></p>
<p><code>astrozfs</code></p>
<p><code>capt-gpu</code></p>
<p><code>capt-gpu2</code></p>
<p></p>
<p><code>dator</code></p>
<p><code>pleiades</code></p>
<p><code>mlis1</code></p>
<p><code>mlis2</code></p>
<p><code>ukads<br>
</code></p>
<p>The shared machines captain, odhar and brahan are hosted
elsewhere and won't be shut down, but as they use the NIS server
astroraid for their password database, you won't be able to log in
to these machines. (If you're logged in beforehand, you should be
OK, but please consider these machines to be at-risk tomorrow.)</p>
<p>If all goes well, the above machines should be back online in the
afternoon. I'll start work on restarting them as soon as the
power comes back on, I expect it to take around an hour to restore
everything. <br>
</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">Apologies for the disruption this
will cause.</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>

<div class="moz-forward-container">Thanks,</div>

this time (including all FoS offices and the Student
Services hub)</span></b><span style="color:black">, so I
would suggest that predominantly office-based occupants
should seek alternative work spaces that day; experimental
Physicists and Technical staff are likely to need to be on
site to assist with the safe shutdown and re-energising of
key infrastructure. Unfortunately I have to be off site
until approximately 10:00 that morning, but will be
available on MS teams.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
