PureMessage Edge Server Maintance 9/26

On Friday 9/26 from 5am – 9:30am a redundant PureMessage server will be down for upgrades.  As this server is redundant end users should not notice any downtime.  Users may be unable to recover certain messages from the quarantine during this time.

Details:

Due to high iowait times support suggested we switch disks in the hades.ups.edu server to RAID10 (currently RAID5).  To achive this we will rebuild the server via our automated installation method and then restore the PureMessage applications and data.  Expected downtime for hades is 4.5 hours (1.5hr backup, 1hr disk rebuid, 1 hr OS load, 1hr restore)
