Network + Storage Outage: work completed

[Bryan Dunlap]

Work is done for this weekend.  SEE BELOW FOR IMPORTANT NOTE FOR SSH USERS.

Unfortunately, technical problems prevented the completion of the 
storage upgrade.  This work will be rescheduled for another time.

The network upgrade is finished.  Critical functions were tested and 
passed those tests.  Please report any network connectivity problems to 
action at physics.osu.edu or visit us in PRB 1199.



IMPORTANT:

If you use ssh, there is a change you must know.  The new firewall 
terminates network connections that it decides are idle after 6 
minutes.  This primarily affects ssh connections. You should be able to 
work around this with Unix or Mac OS X ssh by setting the 
ServerAliveInterval option, e.g.:

    ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=60 username at hostname

This option may also be set in ~/.ssh/config with the line:

   ServerAliveInterval 60

If you use a different ssh client, please refer to your documentation or 
feel free to send email to action at physics.osu.edu or visit us in PRB 
1199 for help.
