Service Interuptions Sat. Oct. 14th All UCAR (fwd)

Hiya,

The UCAR external/internal network system will be down on  Saturday
October 14th from 04:00 until 18:00.  The sites currently receiving
data from thelma or motherlode will have to use their failovers.  There
are 3 failover sites available:

sunshine.ssec.wisc.edu 
sleet.wunderground.com
datoo.srcc.lsu.edu

I would suggest the sites test the failovers with the notifyme command for
sanity sake. If the failovers are not available, please notify support so
the configurations can be made.  Also, another message will be sent out to
match sites to  failovers so all the sites don't connect to the same
failover.  

The UCAR sites will have to obtain the missing data from the
archive unless the iita machine is able to obtain data from the internal
ingestor.

The Mesa Lab semi-annual building maintenance shutdown is scheduled 
for Saturday October 14th  from 04:00 until 18:00. Access to the 
Mesa Lab will be restricted to authorized employees, and there will 
be no public access to the building.  Visitors may still use the 
trails around the building. During this time the Mesa Lab and 
Fleischmann Buildings will experience intermittent electrical, heating, 
and air conditioning interruptions, some for extended periods.

All UCAR telephone and network services to all sites will be unavailable 
for a period of about two hours in the afternoon.

During this time, network services provided by UCAR to NOAA, the City of
Boulder, and CU Boulder WILL be disrupted. The City of Boulder will 
also loose general Internet access.

It is advisable for all ML staff to power down any sensative equipment 
on Friday evening.

Occupants of B-Tower  - you can expect repeated electrical interruptions 
of up to ten minutes duration.  Sensitive electrical equipment such as 
computers, monitors, printers etc., should be powered down at the 
close of business on Friday to avoid damage.

Portions of SCD supported computing services, MSS and supercomputer 
production will start to be unavailable at 04:00 through approximately 
18:00. Critical systems like Domain Name Service and Web service
will be unavailable for the two hour period.
                 
If an unanticipated outage is observed during the network and telephone 
outage period, call 303-494-1947 to report the problem.
