WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Networking in the CCB and TSRB will be briefly unavailable.


WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?
For a few minutes between 6:30 AM and 6:45 AM, Monday, March 11, 2013.


WHY IS IT HAPPENING?
TSO must replace the CCB core router's active supervisor blade.  We will fail over to the redundant blade during the maintenance window to minimize downtime.


WHO IS AFFECTED?
All CoC faculty, staff, and students attempting to use network resources in the affected buildings during the maintenance period.


WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
Users should save their work prior to the maintenance period and should be prepared for service interruption during the maintenance period.  Some affected users may need to reboot their workstations if their home directories do not successfully remount following the maintenance.


WHO SHOULD YOU CONTACT FOR QUESTIONS?
TSO Help Desk (CCB 148, 404.894.7065, helpdesk@cc.gatech.edu)


UPDATE:
The network was unavailable longer than anticipated.  TSO discovered an incompatibility between the new blade and the existing redundant blade.  The vendor has been contacted, and the maintenance will be rescheduled.  Networking was returned to normal operations by 7:25 AM, March 11, 2013.
