• we are trying to collect information about upcoming Fermi computing outages (disks, oracle, network) to improve planning
• when planning an outage, please send an email to datalist and write the description here (including requested duration and preferred timeframe)
• we will try to combine outages as much as possible, in order to maximize uptime for time-critical services (FASTCopy, pipeline, etc.)
• once the plan is finalized, don't forget to send a message to glast-outage and the collaboration (if applicable)

Upcoming outage requests

Dec 4, 2013 - OS Patching

• 10am - all wains to be rebooted for OS patches.  
• At the same time, 16 wains will have new IP addresses assigned in anticipation of retiring old network switches and reconfiguring the network in January 2014.

• (Note that Fermi is now using an obsolete and unsupported version of Oracle for which there are no more security patches.  Thus, the familiar quarterly patching is suspended until Oracle is upgraded.)

Oct 2, 2013 - ISOC logging gateways to be shut down
