**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.

*NOTICE: Student Home Directories - Storage Limitations, Quota Reached*
Who: Students using Engineering Home Directories
Start of reports: January 23, 2020
We moved all EWS Student Home Directories to new hardware over the semester break. While that migration was successful, we are investigating recent reports of unexpected storage quotas issues for some students. If impacted, students will see some applications are unable to open and files can not be saved or deleted. We suggest impacted students use other campus-provided storage options, like Box.illinois.edu or OneDrive in Office 365, while we work to resolve the problem.
We hope to have more information about this issue by the end of the day on Monday, January 28th.
