During planned IT maintenance on Wednesday, 7th November, a problem was encountered. Working with suppliers further work took place to successfully recover services later that day. See status item http://itstatus.bristol.ac.uk/pages/incident/5798d20cc211074a0e000edf/5be312587b7d7a04b9ee9c9f. However, a problem was identified and services are currently running on faulty hardware. Therefore, further essential maintenance work is needed. Working with suppliers we have identified a time to implement that work which will take place in two stages. Working with suppliers we have identified a time to implement that work which will take place in two stages. - On Monday 12th November between 7am and 9am, we have been advised by our suppliers to conduct a firmware upgrade. - On Thursday 15th November between 7am-10am, we will apply the new memory to the server. At present, services are running well but with only half the available memory and the aim is install new components to restore capacity. Currently, to allow services to function we have had to disable non-essential services on that hardware. We plan to send out communications to all staff as soon as possible, as well as put an announcement in MyBristol portal for students and staff. List of affected services during the maintenance periods: - MyBristol - Personalised timetables for staff and students - Datahaven / DiversP reports or services reliant on DataHub access during this period - Edit access to T4 CMS and Prospectus Editing Tool (PET) - People Profiler - Computer Science website - SAFE - ORCA - UBAD - SAFS - Library accounts (including Library self-service, Inter-Library Loans and renewals) - FAR (First Attendance Recording) - Data Warehouse - Studentinfo - MyStudents (Limited access to List and images functionality) - Ucard Photo upload and Ucard updates - Shared mailbox admin tool - Mail name change form - The membership of some Sympa lists may not be up to date during this time, so please avoid using the service where possible. Please direct any queries you may have to the IT Services Desk via the email address service-desk@bristol.ac.uk.
