A planned shutdown of LNF servers is required to complete the migration to new hardware.

Lab users should plan their tool requirements for August 5-6 ahead of time, and make those reservations before August 5.
During this maintenance period, lab users can enter the labs and use reserved tools during standard hours. After-hours access will NOT be permitted. After-hours are 6PM - 6AM weekdays and all weekend.

If we are able to complete the migration earlier than expected, systems may be restored sooner.

Unplanned Systems Outage

9:20AM 2024-07-19: LNF systems restored
Around 7:20PM EDT on 2024-07-18, Windows users with Crowdstrike started reporting that their computers were showing Blue Screen of Death (BSoD)--an indication that the computer had a system failure and could not recover on its own. This issue affected LNF servers, taking down Online Services, access control, LNF-Wiki, etc. Crowdstrike has pushed a fix for the issue; if your computer is suffering from this issue, a reboot (or full shutdown and restart) may resolve it.
