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.
[Update 2:56 PM] Internet service has now been restored to residential buildings. Thank you.
Internet service to all university residential buildings is currently unavailable due to a major fiber cut on the network of our service provider, Integra Telecom. Integra is working to restore service as quickly as possible, and we are looking at ways to mitigate the situation locally. We will post updates as we have them.
This outage does not affect Internet service to the university’s academic and administrative buildings.
Thank you for your patience.

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.
