Status Announcements

Banner/BearPAWS/HR Time Acct will be off-line beginning at 6:00pm Tuesday evening for scheduled maintenance. These services should be restored by 10:00pm at the latest.

Some remaining issues have been discovered with the Blackboard application. Technicians are aware of the problem and are working with the vendor.

Blackboard is now once again functional.

One of the email storage volumes did not come back up properly. Users on this volume would not have been able to login to email since the power outage, and all mail destined for these users has been queued. The volume has been restored and mail is being delivered.

The Levitt Center and Satterlee 325 computer labs are now back on-line. Problems stemming from yesterday’s campus-wide power outage which caused the lab outages have been rectified.

In the wake of yesterdays power outage, Blackboard is still unavailable. Technicians are working with the vendor to restore the service.

All AIS services have been restored. Banner/BearPAWS and HR Time Accounting are back online.

Around 9:15AM, campus and NiMo power infrastructures were cascadingly impacted by an errant squirrel. The problems took electrical personnel until 12:41PM to resolve. Battery problems prevented the main generator from being useful. Most systems are back online, however pockets of trouble still exist including Banner/BearPAWS, BlackBoard and the campus web server. Technicians continue to work to correct those problems. Please check the network status blog at http://blogs.potsdam.edu/network/ for more information.

Email delivery once again proceeds apace.

Email delivery continues to suffer delays, but is still moving through the queues, albeit slowly.
