by Tina J. Stanton-Piersanti 14 Jun '10

14 Jun '10

I have updated the wiki with the headings and who is responsible for which part. Please take a look and see if what I have reflected in the Wiki is what we talked about in the meeting. We will meet again in another month or so to see the progress on this manual. Thanks! Tina

network upgrades
by David Jaremowicz 09 Apr '10

09 Apr '10

Hi, What time would you like the maintenance window at Searle to be? I know April 3 was the date, but I don't have a timeframe. I'd prefer to do it before or after hours in consideration of the Chemistry Dept. Also, I need to upgrade the equipment at Prudential. I know your group "owns" some space there, and I know the hospital owns/owned space there. The last thing I want to do is produce an unexpected outage. Could you inform me what parts are occupied by CI, and if possible, any other groups that may be affected by an outage there? The realistic outage time is about 15 minutes, 8 minutes for the devices to reload, 7 minutes for post upgrade configurations. Thank You, David Jaremowicz

Aidan woke up this morning with a fever and complaining about his ear, so most likely I'll be taking the afternoon to either take him to the doctor or watch Daylan. I'll be in the MCS tactical meeting this morning though.
