[Olympus Users] Building AC Update

[Andrew Pounds]

I was told that the AC would be repaired today.   I just walked over to 
the CS building to turn all of the lab cluster systems on and noted that 
the chiller outside the building was switched off. After investigating I 
learned that the part needed to fix the chiller was damaged during 
shipment.  The repairs will not take place until next Wednesday.   While 
preparing to work on the chiller this morning they also disabled key 
components of the unit so that it cannot even partially cool the 
building right now.   They anticipate the building being so hot that 
classes will have to be moved on Monday and Tuesday of next week.

I have been told that the server room AC unit is still functioning and 
there are no plans to take the cluster head node (zeus) and the 
bioinformatics server (hera) down during this time.

I will let you know if and when there is a status change.

On a happy note, the CS department has made an offer to one of the 
sysadmin candidates.
