CIS has a maintenance weekend scheduled for August 15-17. The details follow. Please let us know ASAP if you have concerns about this maintenance window. Please note the outage to the Argonne website (http://www.anl.gov) will also affect the MCS website at http://www.mcs.anl.gov, as it’s hosted on the same service. Otherwise, services provided by the CELS …

Please note the setup for the display in 3178 has changed. There were some failures in the components that were running it previously, and replacing those components didn’t seem to help. There are new and concise directions printed and posted next to the display. They are also included below. To use the AppleTV, the TV …

Please see Matt’s note below on a security vulnerability that affects Android users. Here’s the short version – there’s an issue that allows applications to masquerade as trusted apps. Google has identified the issue and is pushing out a fix. The fix is not there yet, and when it gets there will be dependent on …

We migrated the sites to the new server and re-exported the data. You should be able to read/write to these directories again. We’re spending the next couple of days looking for potential fallout from the move, so please let us know if something isn’t behaving as expected.

The disk that serves our FTP and MCS websites hosted in MCS (as opposed to the main MCS Drupal website hosted on the Argonne web server) has developed an error that was causing the server to crash. We’ve set the disk to be read-only while we sync the data to a new disk. We’ll send …

Things should be back to normal. Thanks!

We’ve encountered a problem that requires an unscheduled reboot of one of our primary virtual machine servers. This reboot will take out some core services briefly. Until things come back, many websites, git repos, mailing lists, and other services will not respond correctly. I’ll send an update when it’s resolved.

There are networking issues affecting most of Argonne right now. CIS is aware and are working on it. We’ll send a notice when we know more.

And we’re back. Things should be at the pre-upgrade state in terms of functionality. We’ll do some more dry runs on the upgrade before attempting again. Thanks for your patience.

The server is mostly back — there are some aesthetic issues we’re still ironing out, but main functionality should be there for everyone. Will send more when things are closer to done, but you can feel free to use it again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
