There is some issue with a drive in our SAN (either it has failed or is having errors) that has caused the array to copy data over to the hotspare. The array is currently rebuilding which is causing some high latency in Exchange and other systems. No connected systems are failed at this time, but may have slower than normal response times.

I will try to get Dell here to replace the drive first thing in the A.M.

Update 3/1/2013: Dell has dispatched the replacement hard which should arrive around 1pm today. They recommend we update all drives in the array that are at firmware version KD03 to the newest version (KD0A)as soon as possible. This will be completed over the weekend when the array is at its lowest usage rates.

Right now the array is operating normally, but at a reduced redundancy.

Update #2 3/1/2013: The failed hard drive has been replaced. The SAN is now back to normal. We plan to update the firmware on the remaining drives over the weekend.

The Key Pad is out of order on the East side of Media Services (by the back door that leads outside).  Please use the West door (by Brookens Auditorium).  I am sorry for the inconvenience.  Thank you.     KT

Just an FYI.

I will be shutting all these servers down to perform resource maintenance on them.

The following will be shut down to add another processor to each.

OTEL3, UISWEB1, UISNEDI07, UIAOTEL1 , UISDATA1, UISWORDPRESS1, UISAPPSRVPROD1, UISWDS1

The following will be shutdown to reduce their memory allocated.

UISSHIBB1 – 2GB, UISTRAINING1- 2GB, UISWPNFS1 – 2GB, UISWPDB1 – 2GB, UISWPAPP1- 2GB, ORAEM – 2GB, UISGPLProd1- 2GB,  UISLYNCEDGE1-2GB, UISBBTORA1-3GB,  UISWPAPP2-2GB, UISCSCMSSQL1-4GB

Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 has been released to Windows Update as an optional update. It was not originally planned to be released for Windows 7 by Microsoft, but dismal sales of Windows 8 has prompted MS to release the browser for Windows 7 as well.

All 4 of the Access points in the 700 building are currently down. We believe the power supply to the PoE injector block has failed. We are ordering a replacement and hope to have it in place tomorrow morning.

We believe we have resolved the issue that was causing high latency in Outlook for the last few weeks. Please let us know if things seems smoother, or you are still encountering these types of issues.
