There is an upcoming IT outage on November 19th

In the coming weeks, campus will begin a chilled water valve replacement project that impacts many buildings, including Discovery.  On Friday, November 19th, a temporary chiller will be activated in Discovery to provide continued support and cooling to critical areas in the building while the valve replacement project is occurring.

The transition from the campus chilled water to the temporary chiller is expected to take about 8-12 hours and will start at 6am on Friday, November 19th.

We will be proactively shutting down Research Compute servers, but Research Storage servers and all other infrastructure will remain up. We will update this space if temperatures rise too much and we need to take down more services.
