Posted 3 months ago

Recently, Oracle has become aware of numerous flaws in their Java products. They have been releasing patches more frequently in recent weeks and LTS has been working hard to update these software products on our campus in order to ensure the security of our systems. In this process, Oracle has disabled some legacy features that many older applications and some newer ones rely on. If you know that a web site or any other application you use for your curriculum or your daily work uses Java, please verify that it continues to work after the latest version of Java is installed. You can see the version installed on your computer through the Software Center on Windows computers ( Start > All Programs > Utilities Under the “Installed Software tab”). We have seen some issues with Java RE 1.6 update 33 and later, Java RE 1.7 update 11 and later. If you have any applications that are a problem or you have further questions, please contact the LTS Help Desk.

Posted 3 months ago

Qualtrics is working today! However yesterday, Tuesday, February 12, Qualtrics experienced an outage at one of our five data centers. We apologize for this outage and the problems it may have created for you. Here's why it occurred and what we're doing to ensure it doesn't happen again: • This outage was not due to a failure of Qualtrics' hardware or software, but rather the data center's power systems. • Both the primary and secondary power sources in the data center failed, impacting all of the data center's customers. • We are actively conducting a detailed post-mortem on the service delivery and quality of the data center until we can ensure prevention of this type of outage in the future. Ensuring 24x7 uptime for our client is extremely important to Qualtrics, and we take extensive measures to deliver it. Again, please accept our sincere apologies if you were impacted by this outage, and please be assured that we are working diligently to ensure this does not occur in the future.

11/28/2012: Service Interruptions

Posted 6 months ago

Access to various campus services such as email and H: drives appeared to be unavailable this morning. The various services affected were due to a network slowdown. Technically the network was not down but flooded with traffic, causing network congestion and giving the appearance of the network being down. It appears the cause of the excess “chatter” or noise on the network may originate from a CPU on a switch, which is a network hardware component. Alerts notified tech services of the service problem. Since the network was not responsive they had to directly connect to the router on the server floor to diagnose it. The problem was identified and service was restored at 8:20.
