We will be doing some essential maintenance on some of our central filestores between 7.30am and 8.30am on the mornings of Tuesday 1 and Thursday 3 July.

We will be migrating filestores to new hardware. There will be a brief interruption to service for up to two minutes while the cutover from old to new hardware takes place. During this time services should be considered at risk.

The affected filestores include:

ITSFS (aka CSRVFS) - moving Tuesday 1 July

Teaching drive

Linux desktop applications

Business Enterprise Systems

SITS & e:Vision

Agresso

Pure

ResourceLink

Kinetics

Yimsstore

plus many other systems

UserFS - moving Thursday 3 July

Windows M:/H: drives

Linux home directories

We will also need to temporarily remove IPv6 addresses from the filestores the day before the moves - this may cause some connectivity issues for a small number of people.

We apologise if this disrupts your work.
