Linux SL6 and SL7 nVidia Graphics Driver updates on Tuesday 31-Jul-2018:

Tomorrow morning, updates of the latest nVidia Graphics Drivers will be pushed to all CLASSE Linux SL6 and SL7 systems.

If your CLASSE Linux system has an nVidia Graphics card, please reboot your system, anytime after Tuesday, to install the updated drivers.

Linux transition to Scientific Linux 7 (SL7)

We are still in transition mode from SL6 to SL7. If you have a CLASSE Linux workstation running SL6, please send email to service-classe@cornell.edu to schedule an upgrade. We hope to complete the transition by the end of the summer.

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
