CTS Announcements & System Status

The following services are temporarily unavailable due to emergency maintenance: KeyServer, ftp.potsdam.edu. Notice will be posted when these services are again available.

As a result of the datacenter cooling problems this morning, some storage area network hardware experienced problems. This left data volumes critical to the operation of BearPAWS, Helios, and E-mail in an inconsistent state. It is believed these services are once again fully-operational.

Cooling problems in the main campus datacenter have resulted in loss of some systems. All hands are working to restore systems, and provide temporary cooling capacity.

Helios backup volumes are once again online. During the procedure, helios required an unexpected reboot.

Helios backup volumes are offline for urgent maintenance.
