 ===== Spring Quarter 2019 Announcements =====
+====New Openlab Instructional Nodes====
+UCI and ICS received the donation of several racks of high density computing during the spring 2019 term.  Some of that equipment has already been deployed as part of the [[https://swiki.ics.uci.edu/doku.php/virtual_environments:inst|virtual machine instructional cluster (centaurus)]].   We are working on deploying the rest to further expand the centaurus cluster as well as replace equipment in the openlab instructional clusters for shell service and as SGE compute nodes.
+====Openlab:Archer, Openlab:Andromeda Planned Retirement====
+**Date**:  Summer Term 2019 (exact date TBD)
+**Reason**:
+  * To make space and power available for newer openlab instructional nodes
+  * Unsupported hardware, newer kernels and related packages do not run.
+  * A veritable cornucopia of security concerns related to running old packages.
+**Affects**:  All equipment in openlab:archer and openlab:andromeda clusters will be powered down and permanently removed this summer.  New equipment will be added to the openlab cluster for shell service and as SGE compute nodes.
+====Duo Maintenance Update====
+Changes will be made to duo process running on emp.ics.uci.edu.
+Users may force the old behavior, an autopush to their phone or tablet ap, by setting and exporting the following variable:
+<code>
+DUO_PASSCODE=push
+</code>
+Beginning in early June, in order to accommodate Duo hardware tokens,  users that are enrolled in Duo will be presented with the following menu when logging in:
+<code>
+Duo two-factor login for ____
+Enter a passcode or select one of the following options:
+. Duo Push to XXX-XXX-4267
+. Duo Push to Android
+Passcode or option (1-2):
+</code>
+  * Users that use the Duo app should choose option 1 to continue to have Duo push to their phone.
+  * Users that will use a hardware token or phone app //passcode// can simply enter it now.
+**Note about ssh-keys**:  All users logging into emp.ics.uci.edu will receive this prompt regardless of whether or not they are using [[accounts:ssh_keys|ssh-keys]].   At this time we only expect to make this change on emp.ics.uci.edu and multi factor authentication prompts will not appear on other hosts for users using ssh-keys.
+==== SendEnv DUO_PASSCODE per Platform  ====
+=== Linux ===
+Add the following line in ///etc/ssh/ssh_config//:
+<code>
+SendEnv DUO_PASSCODE
+</code>
+Then, in your environment, set DUO_PASSCODE variable:
+<code>
+export DUO_PASSCODE=push
+</code>

 ==== Retire faculty and students server ====
-The two servers **faculty.ics.uci.edu** and **students.ics.uci.edu** will be retired at the end of Spring Quarter.  The servers are not used often anymore.  There are more options available than when these servers were setup.  If there is a need for the server, please email helpdesk@ics.uci.edu and describe what services you need that these servers provide.  There may be better options that could work.
