Well winds have picked up considerably now and at times the Admin building sways just a little (new experience for this storm on-site rookie). The portable chilling solution has been off and on and the temperatures in the admin data center are still rising. Levin and Trauma are on DX Air Conditioning and are fine right now. We continue to be worried about the roof in Levin.
We are starting an extensive list of Tier 3 server shutdowns in admin and we have gotten the go ahead from David Connaughton to shut down Hyperion servers. Many of the EPIC development, test reporting, and training systems have also been shut down.
Phone systems, server systems and network equipment can no longer be remoted into in Lipton, Shearn Moody Plaza, Frost Bank, Rebecca Sealy, and 700 University. Brian Grimm reports much of our network equipment is down (hopefully due to power and not flooding but a good portion may be flooded soon anyway). With Frost Bank down on power, our correctional customers will be without systems (Emerald & PRS) for a few days. The WAN team is looking at alternatives and I’m sure after the storm that it will involve Huntsville in some way.
Our focus now is on communication systems (e-mail, Internet, Blackberry) and a few clinical systems (EPIC and Invision for a transfer or two).
We will have another update at 10:30 p.m. Hope all of you are safe. Todd
Thanks for keeping us updated Todd. Talked with my husband earlier and lots of problems with emergency power on campus. Water in all elevator pits and much of the basement of McCoullough. I am starting to feel we were not very prepared!!!!!
