HVAC System Servers Moved, New Server Ordered
Here at the Physical Plant we've done our Spring cleaning early. Actually, Allen Risen moved to the Public Safety building, so his office was converted into the HVAC control center for Paul and Steve. We affectionately nicknamed it the "Man Cave". The Man Cave now houses Andy (Andover), Sparky (Johnson Controls), and Rita (steam metering).
To allow more access to the Andover system, which controls an ever-increasing portion of our campus HVAC load, we ordered a new server which will allow two persons to configure/update the Andover system at once. Presently there is quite a bit of contention for time on the server, so this will alleviate that bottleneck. Tricia ordered us a very nice computer yesterday, which will host the new Andover software and workstation.

MBS Upgrade Goes Smoothly
The WOU Bookstore's Missouri Bookstore System has been getting some upgrades over the past couple weeks. First the OS was upgraded to V5R4M0, which was quite a process. The bookstore system was down for an entire day, plus a couple nights of prep work on that one. Last night I applied three MBS software upgrades which brings our system current at level 2009.2. So far the upgrades seem to have occured without a hitch, but I'm sure it will take a while to learn the new screens and new functionality that was added.
