Outages for Saturday, Aug 4.

From the IT Office (with my additions in italics):

The Chancellor's Office has informed us that work on one of the power panels in the system office data center will begin at 7 A.M. on Saturday 8/4 in. As a result, the telephone system and wide area network in Hartford will be powered down at 6:30 a.m. and will be unavailable for a minimum of one and on-half hours.

As a consequence of this planned activity, specific to SCSU the following services will not be available:

1) Password Reset for Luminis Portal (MySCSU)
2) Password Reset for Network Access (campus computers)
3) Bannerweb self Service (student Banner use)
4) Internet Native Banner (INB) for Administrators (Banner Admin)
5) Consuls Library System (this would include logging into the databases)
6) 5 digit phone dialing between CSU campus locations (campus phone service only)


(So that's down at 6:30 AM Eastern (Saturday morning) until 8:00 AM minimum--it might be longer. So get off the computer and go treat yourself to a good breakfast.)

Banner down June 29-July 1

For end-of-fiscal-year processing, Banner will be down from June 29, 6 pm (Eastern), to July 1, 9 am. This will affect registration, payments, grade posting and viewing, etc., in BannerWeb and Banner INB. This will also affect the Banner password reset function. It will not affect MySCSU or other network functions. WebCT Vista should not be affected, though any updates to and from Banner (like class lists) won't go through.
