Server StHelens Move to Wyatt – 1/24-1/25/2011

Starting Monday, 1/24/2011 at 8am, TS will being migrating the sthelens server from McIntyre to Wyatt.  This move is required in order to provide redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities for our most important database services.

For the duration of Monday and Tuesday, January 24th and 25th, sthelens will be offline for this change.

The impact of this change is that should a production database fail, it will need to be manually restored in place, versus switching to sthelens, a relatively small risk.
