We are looking at retiring chandra.cs.pdx.edu, a 9-year old Sun Sparc system running Solaris 10 (UNIX). It used to be the CS dept workhorse but that role was taken over by ada.cs.pdx.edu (running Ubuntu Linux) some time ago.

With the CS dept switched over to Linux, the only remaining logins to chandra are a small handful of its original users - most of them running remote scripts. There have been no software package updates in years and it is no longer being updated for configuration management. Since there is no hardware maintenance and based on how old the machine is, we would like to shut it down in a planned fashion without waiting for it to die without warning.

If you have scripts or cronjobs that run on chandra, please move them to a Linux environment (like ada.cs.pdx.edu). Let us know (support@cat.pdx.edu) if you have any questions or need assistance in migrating to Ubuntu Linux.

We would like to have chandra offline before the start of Fall 2016.

For a good part of this few months, the CAT Wintel Team has been working at getting a supported Windows 10 deployment ready for MCECS users. Our first goal will be getting Windows 10 installed in the following labs in time for Fall term (2016).
