NX service upgrade

On Thursday 26th January we plan to upgrade the NX remote desktop service.

All that will happen is that at about 09:00 we will change the DNS aliases (nx.inf and staff.nx.inf) to point to the new machines. This change can take some time to propagate so we will not immediately remove access to the old servers, they will be left running as normal until 12:00 Friday 3rd February. This should allow sufficient time for users logged in to finish their existing sessions and move to the new server.

The general access service (nx.inf.ed.ac.uk) will move from piccadilly to hammersmith, the new IP address will be 129.215.202.146.

The staff service (staff.nx.inf.ed.ac.uk) will move from northern to jubilee, the new IP address will be 129.215.33.6.

The SSH key fingerprints will change which will cause the NX client to request verification. See the NX help pages for the new key fingerprints and further information regarding the NX service.

If you encounter any problems accessing the NX service please contact us via the Support Form.
