What: CV Internet connection
\nWhen: 0840-0900 Eastern Thursday November 25, 2016 (Thanksgiving morning)
\nWhy: Upgrade software on network switch
\nRequired Action: None<\/p>\n
The CV Internet border switch (the network device that sits between the CV network and UVA) will be rebooted at 8:40 AM Eastern Thanksgiving morning in order to upgrade the software. This upgrade is needed to address an issue where one of the two links to UVA, which connects NRAO-CV to the Internet, goes into error-disabled mode. When this occurs the CV Internet connection is reduced by 50%.<\/p>\n
The downtime is expected to take between 10 and 20 minutes with the CV Internet connection restored by 9:00 AM.<\/p>\n
During this time, external access to CV-based services will be temporarily interrupted, as will Internet access from systems in Edgemont Road and NTC. This includes:<\/p>\n
* Exchange mail server and CV-based Unix mail servers
\n* NRAO instance of the ALMA science portal
\n* NRAO Science help desk and science web site,
\n* NRAO public wiki<\/p>\n
plus other servers and services.<\/p>\n
With the exception of some bulk data transfer mechanisms, intranet access between NRAO sites WILL NOT be affected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
