by Harrington, Michael P 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Good morning, Atom is now running on a new machine and the old atom has been retired. Hopefully you will all notice the improvements - I can tell a difference already. As a side note while I am writing - please remember that if you have any computer issues you should send requests to cheq(a)ecn.purdue.edu and not this email address so that the item is entered in our queue and to be sure to include the machine name and location with your request if it is a specific machine. -Mike ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu

Atom downtime increased - 8pm Wednesday to 7:30am Thursday
by Harrington, Michael P 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

ECN has determined that they will need to shut down connections to Atom earlier than previously thought in order to proceed with the migration to the new server so you won't be able to save changes beginning at 8pm tonight and lasting until 7:30am Thursday. -Mike Harrington -----Original Message----- Michael P Sent: Monday, April 09, 2012 12:44 PM To: 'chmegrad(a)ecn.purdue.edu'; 'chme(a)ecn.purdue.edu' Subject: [Che-staff-list] New Server Install - Wednesday/Thursday of this week Hi, Atom, the main file and mail server for ChE will be replaced this week with a new, faster machine and storage system. As a part of this process ECN will need to 'lock down' the file system while the changeover is made. As a result, no one will be able to make any changes to files located on Atom between 12am and 7:30am on Thursday, April 12th. I will also post a note in the undergrad computer labs and a note will be posted in the MOTD (message of the day), however faculty or TA's might want to mention this to their students since some like to work late at night in the labs. -Mike Harrington ******************** Mike Harrington Computer Facilities Manager Chemical Engineering Purdue University 765-494-6428 mph(a)purdue.edu _______________________________________________ Che-staff-list mailing list Che-staff-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/che-staff-list
