[CELS Sysadmins] Userbase Updates
by Leggett, Torrance I. 01 May '15

01 May '15

I just pushed quite a lot of updates to the UB2 staging server and would like help testing that things actually work as expected. The admin interface is at https://sovereign-stage.cels.anl.gov and the domain front ends are: https://accounts-stage.ci.anl.gov https://accounts-stage.jlse.anl.gov https://accounts-stage.lcrc.anl.gov https://accounts-stage.mcs.anl.gov Dan, if you want a KBase staging environment, I'll need accounts-stage.kbase.use as a CNAME for userbase-stage.cels.anl.gov.

[CELS Sysadmins] Buiding power down on June 1
by Stacey, Craig J. 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

An official announcement will be coming within the next few days that go over the TCS power shutdown on June 1. However, you should start working with your stakeholders now to prepare them for this shutdown from a TCS data center shutdown perspective. I'm going to be sending a CELS (MCS/LCF/CLS) announcement *after* the official announcement on the building shutdown comes out. I don't want to start a panic/rush prior to the official lab communication hitting. The data center will be without power from (planned) 7AM until late afternoon. To play it safe, I would presume the downtime window to be 7-7 in terms of what I will announce to my users. Obviously, LCF has a longer window than that due to their spin-up time. In the official announcement, tenants of building 240 will be advised to work from home (or elsewhere on campus) and that building 240 will be closed to all but essential personnel involved in the work that day. However, if their work involves accessing equipment located in building 240, that's not going to be accessible. This includes data center machines, desktops, tinkerlab, etc. If it's in 240, consider it offline. I've already let Folker know (since we was in the meeting we were discussing this in) but we need to give the other stakeholders a heads up to start planning. I'd rather do a targeted announce to leads in these areas to get the ball rolling. Here are the affected CELS services and who should work with the stakeholders on planning for the shutdown. MCS computer/logins/file services: Craig LCRC: Ti PADS: Ti Chameleon/FG: Ti SEED: Dan MG-RAST: Dan Breadboard/Radix: Craig Cosmea: Ti EVS racks: Craig I2U2: Max ALCF (n/a, they're already on it) BIO racks in 240: Max Magellan (KBase): Dan Beagle: Joe CI secondary web and mailing list services: Craig/David -- Craig

by Stacey, Craig J. 28 Apr '15

28 Apr '15

In case anyone's looking to try out the new Workday app that will be replacing our HR system, performance appraisal system, and some other internal apps. The "Workday Wednesdays" thing is an opportunity to take it for a test spin. -- Craig ________________________________ From: Blackaller, Norah W. Sent: Monday, April 27, 2015 3:50 PM Subject: Workday Wednesdays return in May Hello Workday Network! I want to keep you in the loop on upcoming Workday activities. We’ll be resuming Workday Wednesdays in May. This was a successful program in March – over 180 people at the lab have attended a session so far! If you have not had the chance to come yet, I hope you’ll plan to attend. Additionally, if you know of anyone who might be interested in attending, please share this info with them. Workday Wednesdays Hands on sessions are available every Wednesday in May. We would love to host you (and your colleagues) and give you an overview of how Workday works. You’ll be able to log into Workday and see what you can see about yourself. The focus will be Employee Self Service – what each of us as employees can see and do. I’ll walk you through a couple of things, and then will give you some time to explore your profile and try some of the things that you can do for yourself in Workday. (I know there will be other things you’ll be interested in; this is the first look session!) If you would like to attend a session, please send a note to cstiles(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> with your preferred date and time. Wednesdays: May 6th, 13th, 20th, 27th Times available are 9 am, 10:30am, 1 pm, 2:30pm Thanks!
