Description Current Status Date Time
The secondary, off-site copy of EZ-Backup data has delayed since approximately Thursday 6 June 10:00 Am due to repeated network issues that Cornell and Weill Medical College network engineers are working with vendors to resolve. After much diagnostic testing of equipment, issue appears to be in fiber strands supporting the network connection, though the 1GB networks used by Weill Med services that also use that fiber are fully functional - and supporting critical hospital systems. This latter part limits testing time.

The secondary, off-site copy of EZ-Backup data has delayed since approximately Thursday 6 June 10:00 Am due to repeated network issues that Cornell and Weill Medical College network engineers are working with vendors to resolve. Simply put, the network to the EZ-Backup server and tape library.

This latter part limits testing time. Connectivity of limited capacity and functionality has been established, and data transfers have begun to reduce the 3 week backlog. Continuing to pursue options to restore full connectivity. 2019-06-27 20:26:00

The secondary, off-site copy of EZ-Backup data has delayed since approximately Thursday 6 June 10:00 Am due to repeated network issues that Cornell and Weill Medical College network engineers are working with vendors to resolve. Simply put, the network to the EZ-Backup server and tape library at 575 Lexington is no longer functioning. In particular, the 10GB network unique to the EZ-Backup service from the 32 AofA site to the 575 Lex site is not functioning. After much diagnostic testing of equipment at 32 AofA and 575 Lex, issue appears to be in fiber strands connecting the buildings, though the 1GB networks used by Weill Med services that also use that fiber are fully functional, and supporting critical hospital systems. This latter part limits testing time. Vendor will be testing fiber strands between 32 AofA and 575 Lex beginning at 7 pm on Tuesday 6/18/2019. 2019-06-17 19:15:35
