See also: Scheduled System Times and Unattended Service Schedule.


5.26-30.06: Scheduled System Upgrade
Student File Server Unavailable During Memorial Day Weekend
posted 5/25/06

Note: The Arthur server upgrade was completed by 3:30 PM Saturday and all public services were restored at that time.

This Friday, May 26th at 5:30 PM, the student file server, Arthur, will be taken off-line to begin migrating all of the data to a new file server. Arthur will return to service no later than 7 AM Tuesday, May 30th - but is expected to be available sooner. Watch this page for Arthur availability updates during the weekend.

The following services will be unavailable during the upgrade process:

  • Student H: drive storage access
  • Ability to log into UWStudent Lab nodes
  • Access to any software housed on Arthur

Students needing access to data stored on Arthur over the weekend should copy the data to other storage media.

The upgrade to a new server will result in an increase to student H: drive storage. Shortly after the migration to new Arthur is complete, personal H: drive quotas will be increased to 200MBs per user.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The next available time for replacement is December.

If you have any questions or concerns, please email asu-it@uwyo.edu
