[Clusterusers] Fwd: Power Shutdown and Testing

[Wm. Josiah Erikson]

Hi guys,
    Because of the below, I will need to shut down the cluster entirely
on December 29th, and unplug it to prevent it coming back on
automatically when power comes back (because it'll go out again shortly
afterwards). If I'm around, I'll plug it back in on December 30th after
they're done, or December 31, and email the list after that happens.
    All the best and sorry for the inconvenience.
    -Josiah

Good Morning,

I am writing in advance of posting a campus announcement that power will 
be turned off for 3 - 4 hours at FPH, Prescott, Arts Village and Cole 
Science on Tuesday morning, December 30 while repairs are being made to 
the main electrical switchgear. Generator power will be provided to Cole 
Science to maintain critical functions. Power to all other locations on 
campus will remain on during that period. The work being done is to 
install devices designed to prevent the power outage encountered at 
Thanksgiving and to protect critical equipment from being damage from 
electrical power surges.

Once the work is completed, the emergency generators will be tested. 
This will cause 5 - 7 minute mini outages throughout the campus. 
Facilities & Grounds will have electricians on campus to support the 
utility firms doing the work.

Thanks,

Larry
