Scholars Portal has been advised by their storage vendor to proceed with an upgrade to their Pillar storage array as soon as possible, following last week’s cooling and hardware issues. This will help prevent similar drive failures in the future. As a result of this upgrade, a number of Scholars Portal services will be unavailable for a period of time this weekend.
The following services will be unavailable from Sunday July 28, 8 AM to Monday July 29, 8 AM:
- Journals
- Books
- ODESI
- GeoPortal
- SCOT and SPUD analysis tools
- Dataverse
- RefWorks
This weekend’s maintenance is in addition to the planned service outage for the August holiday weekend, which is due to a scheduled full electrical shutdown of the Robarts Library building.
At that time, ALL Scholars Portal services will be unavailable from Monday August 5, 5 AM to Tuesday August 6, 5 AM.
Please contact help@scholarsportal.info if you have any questions.
