Linux Servers Maintenance
Beginning Saturday, January 27, we will be performing Operating System and Application upgrades to the SSC Linux servers. We do these upgrades periodically in order to ensure the highest possible performance, security, and robustness of our systems.
The servers affected (and a list of services affected) are:
*lambic.ssc.upenn.edu - SSC Linux File Server - /home and /work directories, personal websites, and course websites hosted within individual home directories
*porter.ssc.upenn.edu - SSC Linux Web Server - all websites hosted by SSC
*stout.ssc.upenn.edu - SSC Linux Application Server - Statistical Applications, including SAS, Stata, Gauss, R
*mailman.ssc.upenn.edu - SSC Mailing List Server - Department and Research mailing lists
In order to ensure a minimum of service disruption, one server will be upgraded each weekend, beginning with the weekend of January 27. The tentative schedule is as follows:
