Users of Unidata services please note: There will be a disruption of service for users of some Unidata managed LDM/IDD and McIDAS ADDE instances this coming Saturday, December 15th, beginning at 8:00 AM MST and lasting up to 6:00 PM MST. This disruption will be similar to the ones experienced on November 10th and December 1st. lead.unidata.ucar.edu (which is also know as hrrr.unidata.ucar.edu) will be unavailable during the entire outage, so sites that use this machine for McIDAS ADDE-served data and the NOAA/GDS HRRR LDM/IDD feed should be aware of the likely interruption to their data processing: - users pointing at lead.unidata.ucar.edu for ADDE served datasets should change to point at adde.ucar.edu. - unfortunately, there is no backup machine for the NOAA/GSD HRRR data relayed by the LDM off of lead.unidata.ucar.edu Also, it is possible (but we believe unlikely) that other services could be affected by Saturday's outage. The services that could be affected are: LDM/IDD: - idd.unidata.ucar.edu users should institute redundant REQUEST(s) or failover to iddb.unidata.ucar.edu McIDAS ADDE: - motherlode.unidata.ucar.edu users should point their ADDE requests to adde.ucar.edu are routed to different machines as the need arises TDS: - a separate notice has already been sent to TDS users The following is the internal NCAR/UCAR notice that we received about the upcoming outage: "SCHEDULED OUTAGE NOTIFICATION PURPOSE: Continuing construction activities for replacement of the FL2 life safety emergency generator.
