  • CNS (Brian Jones) CNS will be replacing the switching infrastructure at the Math Emporium December 20.
  • Datacenter Power redistribution for the three MLX switches feeding data center server connections on Tuesday, December 28, 2010 0500 - 0700. This should not be user impacting if all goes as planned.
  • Not yet on the calendar but during maintenance windows in December CNS will be moving from dual 1-Gigabit core router connections to 10-Gigabit core router optics and connections.  Most network traffic will converge to route around the connections being replaced but there may be some traffic delays, but this will be during maintenance windows and announced via the VT-DNET listserv. 
  • SETI (Kimberley Homer) The only item from SETI is that the ED finger service will be turned off in early 2011.  The following announcement has been sent to Techsupport and Middleware-announce:
  •  Systems Support: Webmail upgrade is progressing. Load balancing has been ordered and will be tested. Code is being developed to assist with moving contacts and notes to the new database. Target date for conversion is during the winter break to have up before Spring semester begins.
