On Friday, March 27, 2009, a major campus services outage will occur beginning at 9:00 p.m. and lasting until approximately 2:00 a.m. on Saturday morning, March 28, 2009. The outage is a result of two activities: construction in the Liberal Arts building (electrical outage in LA 004 equipment room) and the core network router upgrade in the Social Sciences building. Services may return sooner, depending on how quickly contractors and network administrators complete their work.
This outage also impacts our partner campuses including UM-Helena, MT Tech and UM-Western.
This combined event will affect the following services:
• All Banner services (ADMN, CyberBear, REPORT, TEST7, HCAADMN, HCTST7, FINDW, UMDW, AUADMN, AUTST7)
• Blackboard (online courseware program)
• Central Exchange e-mail services (MSO, GrizMail)
• DNS and DHCP services (affects connection to campus network)
• Griz Card use will be limited
• GrizPrint printing services
• Internet access to and from campus
• LISTSERV email services
• UM home page (www.umt.edu) and web sites hosted by IT
• Wireless access (on-campus and remote access to campus)
This event occurs at the beginning of UM-Missoula’s Spring Break. We anticipate that selection of this particular time may cause the least inconvenience to campus and we thank you in advance for your cooperation.
