SETI: CAS Deployment, Sunday, October 7th, 2012. This is to repair problems that caused CAS outages that were affecting users.
CNS: Network Engineering still has plans for a major Internet interruption during the winter break but there is still not any definite schedule for it.
Normal network upgrades will continue to be performed ahead of the UC project and will continue to be announced through VT-DNET listserv.
IMS: Google roll-out; ITAR situation is brought up. Requested to set up 500 Resource accounts for facilitation of the separate ITAR environment; IMS did not grant this request. Interim solutions are in the works, but nothing is final yet.
DBAA: Sunday Sept 16, DBAA will fast trrack a Financial Aid fix; 6mm til 9am Banner will be unavailable.
SMT: Possible storage outage/major outage either November 17th and 18th; approximately 4 hours would be needed. Please review this for your own areas. This would be a SAN upgrade (VNX). Also proposing quarterly outages for storage upgrades. This is the Enterprise side, not the camera system storage.
DCM: There was a power outage that affected much of the area, but in various ways, late Monday night and early Tuesday morning. This is probably what affected the SGI storage failure, due to overtemp conditions.
SAMwise: Demo of what has been developed so far on Filebox. May need to include Facilities services--either electrical type equipment or other Data Center related tasks. Lots of good features. Questions mainly centered on duration of event and choice of "This event has no end date." Also prototyped the "Urgent/Unplanned Maintenance" event occurrence and this looks really good as well. Envision an intro page that posters would see and make a choice as to whether the event is "Scheduled" or "Urgent" and then be directed to the proper page for posting.
