[Completed] Pre-Production Patch Maintenance, Monthly – Thursday the 1st of March 2012, 7 a.m. to 9 a.m.

The Pre-Production Patch Maintenance was completed at 9:00 am.

On Thursday the 1st of March from 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM most pre-production servers are to be patched. This means that most test systems may be intermittently or entirely unavailable during this time. Most users will not be impacted, as most users do not have access to these pre-production servers.

This should not affect any production services such as:

Email
Personal and departmental file shares (on Alexandria and Merlin2)
Database applications: Cascade, FAMIS, Millennium, and Banner
Web services such as www.pugetsound.edu, cs.pugetsound.edu, and Moodle
Print Services
vDesk

A follow up email and update to the blog will be posted once Pre-Production Patch Maintenance has been completed.

SafeConnect Server Memory Upgrade

We will be upgrading the memory on our SafeConnect server tomorrow morning between 6:30-7:30am. This should not impact users. Basically the network access control will be opened up during the time the server is down. I will need to have Impulse Point evaluate the server after the memory is installed. Once the server is back in operation, the network access control will be turned back on. Only users that are not compliant will then be blocked again.

The upgrade is complete and the server is back online. No issues incurred. 7:30am
