Network Outage Today (April 28)

 Friday, April 28, 2017 - 4:05pm

I apologize for the service outage this afternoon. I was making network changes and created a route loop that caused our primary and secondary networks to go into a disabled state. This outage took longer than normal to resolve because I needed to contact campus networking staff to bring the disabled ports back online.

I obviously need to make some changes to our network plans. There are two changes I can think of right now:

1) I will look into making changes to our network to make sure I can immediately enable any ports that go offline.

2) I will move this work to Sunday mornings until we are confident it will not cause outages.

Again, I apologize for this disruption to your institutions.

An updated server used behind-the-scenes with VuFind 0.6 and VuFind 3.x will be put in place between 6AM and 10AM on Sunday, April 9th. The outage should be less than 20 minutes if everything works as expected. If not, we may remove the new server and put the older one back in place.

Dropping Network Connections

 Wednesday, March 15, 2017 - 3:15pm

This afternoon I was doing maintenance on redundant security devices. The devices are supposed to preserve network connections when one device in the pair is restarted, but I have learned that we are dropping those connections.

I am holding off on further maintenance until later tonight. I will also investigate why connections are not being preserved. I apologize for kicking you off of our servers twice this afternoon.

Network Firmware Upgrades this Sunday, Jan 15

 Thursday, January 12, 2017 - 8:18am

This Sunday, January 15 starting at 6:30AM, campus networking staff will be upgrading the firmware on a large number of network devices. This includes the devices in our Production Data Center. Since we have redundant routers and switches, I am not expecting any downtime during this work but I wanted to make you aware of it just in case.

We are investigating a problem with Z39.50 to Voyager and have turned off Z39.50 to stabilize the server.
