We anticipate an outage of no more than 30 minutes but some extra time is being scheduled in case of unforeseen problems.

Potential Campus Power Outage

by

We have been alerted to possible PG&E power outages due to fire danger, and that campus power may be shutdown at some point over the next 2-3 days. If we receive notice of imminent shutdown, we will work to safely shutdown our NetApp fileserver and other critical infrastructure systems; this may occur on very short notice.

We will endeavor to update this News item as we receive any updates.

We recommend you proceed with shutting down any non-essential machines in advance, e.g. shutting down workstations at the end of the work day.
