We need to reboot the edge firewall tomorrow morning. We will start the reboot at 5am. It should just take a few minutes.
This will affect Internet access for the minutes the firewall takes to boot.
During our System Maintenance the Wiki tool had to be reinstalled. The Wiki tool is working fine and no data was lost, but it appears that some Course and Tool Links to the Wikis area may have been broken. Links may need to be deleted and recreated in those cases.
We have experienced an issue where eprint.fau.edu exhausted its’ memory and necessitated a reboot. The system has returned to service now. We apologize for the inconvenience.
