I don't have any resources here to help with the downstreams, yet. Wish I did, but that's not currently in my realm of requirements. Also, the LDM systems that are here are pretty much all of limited volume/capability and couldn't do much more than they are supporting on-campus.
I knew this was going to happen but last time I'd asked, no one had a timeframe. Good luck with the new switch-gear. For some reference, the original plan was to not put the Brazos UPS on generator. The number of users for the UPS getting added to the new generator is pretty small: Mostly LEARN, and the Academy. I don't think more than one or two other systems are on it. However, to replace the current generator with a new one requires pulling out the old one first! So, I'm guessing a lot of the machine room will go down.
Because the DC plant stays up, core campus networking, TTVN networking, LEARN networking hardware (but not administrative servers) and Telecomm hardware in Wehner will still be up. EIS, Brazos, and Wehner networking will go down, as will CIS Supercomputing and most/all other customers therein.
Good luck with it. Back when Physical Plant existed, their electricians did a great job of planning and preparing, and their planned outages were always shorter (and better managed) than some done by outside contrators. Hope everything turns out OK.
gerry
