Subject: [Cs-staff] UNIX fileserver migrations...TOMORROW 9/12 starting at 5 PM

The following fileservers will be migrated to new hardware in the Allen 
Center starting tomorrow at 5 PM.

bald.cs.washington.edu		dark.cs.washington.edu
fury.cs.washington.edu		jack.cs.washington.edu

bald.cs.washington.edu will go down AT 5 PM.  Others will go down with a 
15 minute warning to users logged into those machines.  At most, one host 
at a time will be down and inaccessible, while a migration is in progress.

The new fileservers have new names, here's a mapping of how things will be 
moved:

bald.cs.washington.edu -> coco.cs.washington.edu
dark.cs.washington.edu -> skyo.cs.washington.edu
fury.cs.washington.edu -> echo.cs.washington.edu
jack.cs.washington.edu -> tebo.cs.washington.edu

If your GWS home directory is located on one of these servers your e-mail
will also be inaccessible while the migration is in progress for your
server.

If this migration takes more than one day, migration will stop as the 
server in progress is completed, and will begin again at 5 PM the next 
day.  All affected content will be left in an operational state during the 
layover, and the system alert will be updated to reflect the status of the 
migration as it proceeds.

For a complete listing of affected filesystems, please see:

    http://rtfm.cs.washington.edu/cgi-bin/wreq/req?show-all-1-58202

This link will also be available from the system alert page.

My apologies for the short notice, but all of the required pieces were not 
in place until today.
