Outages & Service Degradations
Service Degradation - Large Scale Storage (LSS)
ITS Research Services has restored access to all LSS systems, however, automation work still remains to complete the implementation of the new authentication configurations. Until this work is done, we will not be able to create new LSS shares or make changes to share quotas. Once this work is done we will start processing requests.
