[BIC-announce] UPDATE: *** IT Equipment move completed, yet not fully functional ***

[Sylvain MILOT]

Hello BIC community,

just a quick update to tell you that the move of equipment has been successfully completed and systems are safe and ready to go ... yet we still have a subtle configuration/networking issue related to the Isilon Data Cluster, for which we know the solution but need McGill IT to intervene. In essence, we resolved networking issues last night and we should resolve the Isilon config issue at the latest Monday morning.

Thanks for your patience and Happy St-Patrick's !

Your Sys Admin team...
