During the Tuesday, 30 September maintenance window, maintenance work will affect certain services, starting at 5:30 PM and being completed before midnight. The following work is planned:

• Access switches: the network switches in the buildings listed below will be replaced. All network services (including Wi-Fi and IP telephones) will be disrupted in those buildings for up to 90 minutes.

  • Life Sciences Building

• Terminal Four: Terminal Four software will be updated. We expect an outage of an hour during which time it will not be possible to change content managed by Terminal Four.  Already-published web pages will still be accessible.

• Storage systems: software on storage systems will be updated. No noticeable outage is expected, though an unexpected failure during the upgrade would cause an outage affecting almost all services.

This work is being conducted during a minor maintenance period. Should there be a compelling reason why this work should not go ahead as planned, please contact support@ru.ac.za before 3:00 PM on Tuesday.
