NSF01 downtime and storage upgrade (yet again) postponed

October 5th, 2009

From Census:

The work on NSF01 will not be done this week. There is a problem on 3PAR’s
end, apparently. It turns out that they need to upgrade the frame, and
since we are not the only ones in the frame, they need to reschedule. At
least, this is the gist of it from my conversation with Leo.

We will, as usual, keep you posted.
