If you are reading this you are probably on a PC that managed to login or has remained logged in since Friday. DO NOT log out. Keep reading Counterculture for advice.
ICTS have had a major crash of the SAN that runs may of the file systems and applications on campus. They are restoring some services to an older SAN from backup. For more details on problems see the ICTS website..
Horizon, the catalogue, database access and most Library services are working. There have been no notices run since Friday. EFTPOS and web deposit of funds to CS Gold are not working, but the cash reload stations are. Most other student systems are working but Blackboard was down for two days.
Do not update Digital Library or UC Research Repository until further notice. The digital objects are stored on the SAN. Both systems are still working but may fail and/or may need to be restored from Friday.
Any work done on Friday on the K: or P: drives has been lost as these drive have been restored from backup. Currently these drives are not available. Once the P: drive comes back you will be able to login without problems. In the meantime you can get to email via the web on PCs that are logged in. The Wiki is also not available.
There will be lots of other problems. Report them to Library IT as you find them.
more later – Anne
