This weekend the Mesa Lab machine room will be shut down for maintenance, and this affects many of EOL's servers and other UCAR networking and services.  This may cause the following SOS services to be interrupted or inaccessible: real-time network data stream, real-time plots and images, NCharts, nagios, and the wiki.  I think VPN should still be accessible, so it should still be possible to connect directly to the DSM network (eg, DSMs, lidar Pis, camera) during the shutdown.

Even though the network stream will be interrupted, all the data should continue to be saved locally on the USB sticks.  The USB sticks all have at least 20GB of available space and have not had any problems so far through the project.  The DSMs themselves have been up for 40 days at this point.

Everything is supposed to back up on Sunday evening by 6:00 pm, so soon after that the rsync backups should catch up on downloading everything from the DSMs that was recorded over the weekend.  The real-time data stream and plots and images should resume then also.
