****************************************************************************** dorismail 08-Jun-2010 20:04:17 Message No 0673 ****************************************************************************** Author: Carey Noll Subject: Transition to new CDDIS server environment Author: Carey Noll/CDDIS The CDDIS archive will be unavailable starting June 21 at 10:00 EDT (14:00 UTC) for approximately 24 hours (however, as we all know, unforeseen problems could cause a longer outage). At that time, the system will be shut down in preparation for operations to transition to a new server environment. When the new systems are operational, users will continue to access host cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov through anonymous ftp and http and see the same archive structure. However, the IP number for the CDDIS host WILL CHANGE. Users should use the HOST NAME cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov and NOT THE IP NUMBER in their automated file retrieval scripts to the CDDIS. Groups who submit data and products to CDDIS will need to update their procedures to use host cddisin.gsfc.nasa.gov. These groups should have already received messages from me about this transition and should have supplied the IP numbers of any hosts they use to push files to CDDIS; if you have not contacted me with this information, you WILL NOT be able to deliver ANY DATA OR PRODUCT FILES after the transition. Therefore, please send me an email as soon as possible to coordinate the exchange of IP information. We will send a message to the community when data/products suppliers can being pushing files to the CDDIS host cddisin.gsfc.nasa.gov; this process may begin prior to the availability of the CDDIS archive to general users. We hope for a smooth transition to our new computer system on June 21/22 and ask your cooperation in preparing your software to use the new incoming server. We will keep you posted as we implement the new system and when we are up for operations. Please contact me if you have any questions.
