<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>This is in progress, and the servers in Physics are now shut down
while electrical work takes place.</p>
<p>Since captain seems to be unused at this moment and it's in need
of updates, I plan to install them and reboot early this
afternoon, as soon as the power comes back on in Physics. <br>
</p>
<p>I hope this is OK - please contact me this morning if this will
be a problem for you.</p>
<p>I'll email again later today with an update.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>Phil P<br>

<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><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>
