One of OSU’s DNS servers (NS2) crashed this morning 6/5/2014 at about 6:25AM. The system was rebooted and service restored by 8:00AM.
The DNS service allows computers to find services on the network by name. Although computers are usually configured to use multiple DNS servers, fail-over is not always graceful and some services can be interrupted. In particular, we received reports this morning that some customers were not able to login to OSU’s WordPress site (blogs.oregonstate.edu) and courses.ecampus.oregonstate.edu.
We apologize for the service disruption. We will be investigating ways to make this service more resilient.

This issue appears to have affected instructors only. We are contacting the vendor to verify if this was a cloud issue.

Notice of Unplanned Outage
On Tuesday 13th May 2014, the Academic Technology group started receiving reports of problems with the presentation equipment in some of the classrooms. Network Engineering and Academic Technology are working together to determine the underlying cause of this continuing intermittent problem.
Academic Technology suggests that instructors come to rooms equipped to potentially work without the network (i.e. bring presentations/slides on a flash drive).
If you have questions or concerns about this outage, please contact Network Engineering at net (at) oregonstate.edu or call 737-HELP.
The ONID shell server (shell.onid.oregonstate.edu) will be unavailable Wednesday May 14th from 10:00pm to 10:15pm for a software upgrade.
I will be upgrading the Linux kernel and rebooting the system.

It appears that the DDOS attack on Amazon’s DNS service has finally abated (Amazon provides cloud services to Bb) and Blackboard seems stable at this time. We will continue to monitor the situation and take further action as needed.

On Tuesday May 6 CWS will be updating CWS Hosted Drupal 6 sites to the latest version of Drupal 6. This release includes an important security update for Drupal core and several modules. Although this will incur a 2 to 3 minute interruption in service to the affected websites, most site visitors will not notice the interruption, as most pages are cached. This will be a rolling upgrade and we cannot say exactly when or on which day a specific site will be affected.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact us through our form at http://oregonstate.edu/is/services/cws/contact.
Thank you, Paul Lieberman Central Web Services
