All fileservers restored

All fileservers have been restored and all data is now available.

If you are still missing anything, please email support@engg.ksu.edu and indicate the full path of what is missing, screenshots are very helpful as well.

Engineering Data Center Offline 12/27/2018

We are having a maintenance service call on the Data Center UPS system on December 27. All servers in the Data Center will be shutdown between 8-8:30am and will remain off, most likely, all day. We hope to be able to bring them back online before 5pm, but at this time, we do not know for sure how long the maintenance will take.

This will affect the BAE and ECE research servers, the ECE Cadence server, and all College of Engineering hosted fileservers (L:, M:, N:, O:, P:, S:, T:, V:, X: and Y:).

All other services can be shifted to Seaton and are not expected to be affected by this outage.

Status Update 12/27/2018 @ 12:15pm:  Work is progressing as expected, we are still expecting to be online before 5pm.

Status Update 12/27/2018 @ 3:50pm:  UPS and Power have been restored. All services should be online now.

End of Emergency Phase

Other than file system restorations, internal infrastructure and the many straggler computers that we will be finding for months that are on the dead domain, we are essentially recovered from this event on 12/7/2018. If you find anything is still not working, please send us an email at support@engg.ksu.edu and we will look into it.

I will continue to update the File Servers post as various drive letters finish up.

Lab Printers are UP

All lab printers should be functional now. Please note that they have changed names since we have joined the Campus PaperCut system.

Please make sure you are printing to the printers that you want:

engg-duf1092-bw are the printers in the Fiedler Computer Lab in Fiedler 1092
engg-duf1093-bw are the printers in the Fiedler Learning Commons in Fiedler 1093

Departmental printers are in the same format <dept>-<room>-<printer type>

At this time, there is no printing from personal devices, you have to use our lab computers.

There is also no way to check your quota, printing to our printers does not currently consume your free quota from the University. We've set the quotas high enough that as long as you don't abuse it, you won't hit it.

Classroom/Conference room computers

Some classroom/conference room computers are now functional:

All CECS managed conference rooms and classrooms should now be complete.

Durland 1004a,1027, 1032
Engineering Hall 0093, 0096, 0097, and 1109, 1139, 3108, 3099b
Fiedler 0077, 0087, 0088, 1091, 1094, 1107, 2144
Rathbone 1044 - 1073

Reservation System Status

The Engineering Reservation System has been brought back online to be used for reservation of study rooms.

The Fiedler Laptops remain unavailable for the time being until our lab computer restoration effort returns them to service, at which time they will become available for reservation again.

File Server Restoration

File Server Restoration is underway.

You should start getting your drive letters mapped (L:, K:, S:, V:, etc) as you login fresh to your computers, if you have been joined to the Campus ADS. As directories complete their restoration, I then have to re-apply permissions. Once that is done, you will see those directories that you have access to. I will post a list of what has been restored on Monday.

We are still working on joing people to the Campus ADS, but most of the Faculty/Staff have been completed and we are working on graduate student computers. Faculty/Staff, if we missed you and you are now ready to be converted, or if you still have laptops that need converted, go ahead and shoot us an email to support@engg.ksu.edu and give 2 or 3 possible times that we can come by.

UPDATE: 12/5/2017 @ 7:30am: Obviously, I did not post an update on what file servers have been restored. The list would be cumbersome to write and for you to read. I have emailed Department Heads at various milestones on the restoration process and will email them again when their department is complete. Hopefully, they will pass that information along.

K: (ChE) is complete
T: (EEXT) is complete
X: (HSR) is complete
Y: (HSR) is complete
