Status Updater

All services should now be accepting Campus Computer Account usernames and passwords.

We are experiencing issues with our central authentication system. Basic service has been restored. Authentication to some services will continue to be sluggish and/or sporadic until the system is fully repaired.

Monitoring continues, but all systems are online and stable as of this writing.

Hardware failure in the main campus data center at approximately 08:00am this morning led to near complete service outage. Technicians responded immediately to assess the situation, ultimately replacing and rebuilding networking equipment and configuration; restoring network services. At this time, most services have been restored, and staff continue to monitor the situation.

OS X clients are now receiving their updates as expected.

As of noon yesterday, basic functionality had been restored to core and infrastructure services. Throughout yesterday afternoon and into late yesterday evening, work proceeded on resolving remaining application problems. At this time, all known issues related to yesterday’s network outage have been resolved. Anyone continuing to have difficulties should contact the CTS Helpdesk (x2083).

A network equipment failure cascade affected connectivity to most campus network services. Technicians continue to work on isolated service issues.

The infrastructure underlying the campus computer account is currently undergoing critical maintenance. Account addition, deletion, and password resets are all unavailable.

Wireless devices attempting to connect to W@SP may fail as we are close to all available addresses being used. There is no ETA for a resolution. This issue should be considered ongoing until further notice.

Macs are again receiving their virus definitions and updated clients. As a large number clients are connecting to the update server simultaneously, it may take a few days before all receive their updates.
