As a follow-up, remember to email tamu-ldm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx when you
have any questions regarding these LDM servers (sasquatch, bigbird, and,
later, idd.tamu.edu).
The tamu-ldm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx email might come in handy if Gerry can't
read his email for some reason (like drowning his cell phone again! Ha!).
Thanks,
Donna

Sorry for the short notice but I'm going to take sasquatch.tamu.edu down
for a short period to attempt a memory upgrade. This maintenance will
occur Friday morning, 21 OCT 2011, between 0800-1200 CDT (1300-1700 UTC).
At this time, I'm getting bids in for an upgrade of the
bigbird/sasquatch pair into a cluster of servers running similar to the
clustering at Unidata. I hopeto have bids in later this week, and to
issue a purchase order within two weeks.
When the new hardware is in, installed, and working, bigbird and
sasquatch will serve as back-end collectors. All requests for data will
be referred to idd.tamu.edu for service, as this will be the front-end
of the cluster.
I'll post more on the change-over as its time approaches.
I do not expect the outage to last more than 4 hours. For that matter, I
don't expect it to last more than 15 minutes, but my luck hasn't been
stellar of late, so there's a fudge factor plugged in there.
