Underway

The work is underway. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

Scheduled

We're doing some routine maintenance to the -smb.lifesci.dundee.ac.uk file system, during which time the service will be unavailable.

This is a 2nd maintenance action following maintenance that happened on Tuesday 7th January 0700-0845hrs.

This 2nd action is expected to be complete within 30 minutes, from 0700-0730hrs, and we will advise the completion sharp when it happens but we are advertising the full 0700-0900 maintenance window period as a precaution to assist planning and expectations.

This maintenance protects the ongoing data integrity of the files stored in the service and enables us to continue to provide increased capacity to respond to normal data volume growth.

While we don't expect any issues, sometimes unexpected things happen. We'll update this post with progress.
