Printers in departmental computer labs may be unavailable
Who: Printers in departmental computer labs and instructional spaces
Timeframe:on-going from the start of the semester
Status: In progress
During the last 1 1/2 years, printers in department computer labs across the college were infrequently used and went into idle mode for a long duration. As Instructional Services brought them back online this semester, we discovered many printers need repairs or replacement parts. This is taking us several weeks to get them in working conditions.
Alternative Solutions: Print to another known working printer, like EWS printers or department administrative printers until the in-lab printer is working For specific issues or concerns, please report them to engrit-help@illinois.edu
We will update this status as the majority of the departmental computer lab printers are brought online.

**Resolved: Virtual Machine Outage - PPSB Data Center**
Who: Impact seems limited to administrative and research filers
Timeframe: Start 5:00pm, Friday, November 13, 2020 - until 9:30 pm 11/13/2020
Status:
Power issues in the PPBS Data Center during a planned maintenance caused shut down of virtual machines (VMs). The bulk of the affected systems are research and admin filers. The portal and the majority of external facing web services should not be affected.
Our Infrastructure team worked to restore the VMs and ensure that they get restarted successfully to return to normal functionality.
This did impact our standard EngrIT Status Announcement page which prevented our ability to post about this outage.
