Scheduled Maintenance on Core Router

Posted on by

I will be upgrading the IOS on our Core Router (Cisco 6905) at 5:00am tomorrow morning (Tuesday Feb 8th).

The upgrade is to enable a new 10GB interface slot card.

All preparations are already in place, so I expect the downtimes to be short (5-10min each) and intermittent between 5:00-6:00am.

During the downtimes, all inter network-connectivity will be disabled.  There will be no access to any services or resources during this time.

This will include but not limited to: email, internet, databases, VPN, etc.

[Resolved] Millennium database down

Posted on by

The Millennium database was down this morning for a few hours because the archiver was stuck because the archive logs have not been getting purged like they should.
Space was cleared on the drive so archiving could resume and the database would be accessible again, and we will follow up on the log purging issue so this doesn’t happen again.
