 Here you will find recent Information and service indications for our infrastructure. If you are interested to receive these informations via email, please subscribe to [[https://lists.iai.uni-bonn.de/mailman/listinfo.cgi/gsg-op|gsg-op@lists.iai.uni-bonn.de]]. We are using this list to announce technical issues, maintenance windows and the results of these proceedings.
+----
+===== 2020-09-17: Maintainance of Internet Connection: finished  =====
+Due to maintainance of the Internet connection, individual services might be disconnected for a short time today. Normally, you can reconnect right away.
+----
+===== 2020-09-01: New Service: Matrix IM  =====
+We just finished the deployment of a node of the matrix.org instant communication network. More info can be found [[en:xmpp|here]].
 ----

+----
+===== 2020-08-10: DNS Resolving last Weekend  =====
-===== 2018-09-05: Status of the core network routing problems =====
+From sunday, ~13:00 up to today, ~9:30, we experienced minor problems throughout the entire network of the c.s. dept and the B-IT due to a failing primary nameserver. The problem was corrected by now.
-We just experienced another network outage, which was intended this time to collect data for the problem analysis of the hardware vendor. We continue to work on a solution, utilizing our support contractor and the hardware vendor.
+----
+===== 2020-05-03: Mailservice temporarily down =====
-By now we punched down the possible supects to the IPv6 core of the router, which now remains disabled to ensure a stable IPv4 operation.
+Due to failed network equipment in the HRZ the mail server is offline at the moment. Please be patient while the problem is solved.
-We thank you all four your continuous patience and support.
+UPDATE: the problem has been solved, the mail service is available again.
 ----
+===== 2020-04-24: Discontinuation of OSP Videostreaming =====
-===== 2018-09-03: Further problems with our central network routing components =====
+Due to massive problems with the software Backend, we had to shut down our streaming services on the OSP server permantly.
-As the recent proceedings in patching up our central routers were not successful, we are continuing to experience massive problems with our core network, resulting in massive performance issues and complete blackouts of network connectivity. This problem is of a non-trivial nature, we are continuing to investigate the issue, utilizing our support partners and the hardware vendor itself.
-At the moment we seem to have pinned down the problem to the IPv6 core of the router. To stabilize the situation as good as possible, we have disabled IPv6 routing for the time being, hoping to reactivate it after resolving the problem.
+----
+===== 2020-03-18: Reduction in attendance times due to COVID-19 =====
-Please continue to be patient and remember that the whole setup in this building is completely new, some problems simply were to be expected.
+Due to the special situation we find ourselves in these days, we decided to reduce our attendance service to the absolute minimum possible for the foreseeable time. Further information is available [[en:covid-19|here]].
 ----
+===== 2020-03-05: Availability of the Computer Pool Rooms U1.012, U1.041, U1.042 =====
-===== 2018-08-31: Maintenance window of central network routing components =====
+After the end of the [[https://www.informatik.uni-bonn.de/de/Pressemitteilungen/schueler-krypto-botschaften-verschluesseln-im-auftrag-ihrer-majestaet?set_language=en|Schüler-Krypto 2020]], the above mentioned pool rooms and the computers in there have been returned to their regular use.
-In the time between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. we will update the central routing components. As a direct result there will be total network service outages during this period in the whole c.s. dept. and the b-it. We apologize for the inconvenience.
 ----
-===== 2018-08-28: Outage of network connectivity =====
+===== 2019-06-25: Update Status Imagine Premium/Microsoft Azure Dev Tools =====
-We just experienced a breakdown of the central routing components of the c.s. dept and b-it. the problem was corrected and we are investigating the cause.
+By now a registration using the university email address is possible. More information available on [[en:microsoftimagine|this page]].
-Thank you for your patience.
+----
+===== 2019-06-25: Status Imagine Premium/Microsoft Azure Dev Tools =====
+Since Microsoft changed the name of the program from "Imagine Premium" to "Azure Dev Tools for Teaching", they changed the requirements for registration to the program portal, too. As for now, an institute email address is required for registration. As newer students are not longer provided with one of these, only older students with an old address are able to register. Microsoft is working on a solution to this problem, but as for now, there is no workaround. So we cannot provide you with access to the program at the time-being.
 ----
+====== 2019-06-24: Loss of central Storage at B-IT ======
-===== Commissioning the new print account =====
+Last Friday around noon we experienced a total loss of several central components of our userstorage for UNIX (NFS) and Windows (SMB). Sadly we had to realize that we lost a rather important large storage component completely, so we had to recover the affected storage areas from our backup to alternative server systems. Because of that, a certain loss of data in the confines of the regular backup schedule (usually daily in the night) has to be expected.
-The printing system known from the Römerstraße is online in a revised version since Monday, 06.08.2018. Further information can be found in the tab "[[en:print | Print Services]]".
+The data rescue operation is completed by now, all services were restored again.

+===== 2019-05-29: New Host Keys login.bit =====
-===== Guest WiFi available for Workshops and conferences etc. =====
+The SSH Login Server of the b-it was reinstalled and received new host keys. If you want to verify, please refer to the following fingerprints:
-For any sort of special event or just for short-time guests we are now offering temporary access to our WiFi infrastructure through a sponsored [[en:guestaccounts|guest portal system]]. If you are hosting an such event or awaiting guests, please [[mailto:gsg@informatik.uni-bonn.de|contact us]] for further information.

+===== 2019-05-20: eduroam, eduroam-cs and the new certificate =====
+Until the replacement of the eduroam-cs certificate within IT, the certificate specified [[en:eduroam|here]] must still be used when connecting to eduroam-cs! We will have completed the conversion to the new CA within the next few days, so you can also use the new certificate within eduroam-cs, as stated in the HRZ newsletter. We will announce this accordingly here.

+===== 2019-04-12 10:00: DNS resolver 131.220.51.34 has been switched off =====
+The DNS resolver 131.220.51.34 had been replaced by
+.220.4.11
+.220.4.17
+a00:5ba0:10:330::b
+a00:5ba0:10:330::11
+a few weeks ago and has been turned off on Friday, April 12th, 2019, 10:00 local time.
+(We will return our temporary network 131.220.50.0/23 to the University
+Computing Center shortly.)
+Most machines (computers, printers, scanners, etc.) are configured by DHCP
+automatically and have switched already, We have told about others, that we
+had detected, to the colleagues in the work groups that manage them.
+Should there still be machines that are manually configured to use
+.220.51.34 by the users themselves: you have to change the DNS resolver
+setting to the values shown above. However, as far as we can see,
+there are only a few left, that are already known to their
+administration. So the only problematic machines are such that were
+switched off for the last few days.
+----
+===== 2019-01-29: Scanning from the multifunction device "feder" in the BYOD room (U1.040) =====
+It is now possible to scan from "feder" not only onto a USB storage device, but also into an E-mail. You have to
+login first, using the display of "feder" ("Alternate Login").
+Please don't forget to log out afterwards.
