Scheduled Service Downtimes

Sites and Services impacted by work:

UNHF and UNHD
The VMS to Unix bridge, will be unavailable on Sunday, January 7, from 7:00 AM until noon for hardware maintenance.

Internet and Internet 2 Outage
On Saturday, January 6, between 6am and 7am, all USNH and GSDLN sites will experience a brief outage to the Internet and Internet 2. There will also be a brief outage between all campus to campus data connectivity. UNH Telecom will be upgrading the main memory of our core Internet router. The change will require the swapping of a network module. We expect the outage to be no longer than 5 - 10 min while we reboot the router and update the configuration on the device. We will begin work right at 6AM. If any problems should arise we will back out of the upgrade and have service restored by 7AM. The upgrade will allow for future growth on this router and allow us to handle full BGP tables and new router code with added security.

Blackboard Server Maintenance
Effective April 24, 2005, Blackboard is scheduled to be down every Sunday morning between 4:00 AM and 10:00 AM. This is a change from the previous Friday morning schedule. While some of these scheduled downtimes will require the entire scheduled time frame, Blackboard administrators will have the systems offline for as short a period as possible, and bring the systems back on line as quickly as possible each Sunday.

Exchange/Cisunix/Webmail/AD/File Sharing Server Maintenance
Due to increased frequency and severity of security threats on the Internet, we are being forced to more frequently utilize the regularly scheduled maintenance window between 8:00 AM to 12:00 NOON every Sunday morning. While some of these update sessions will require the entire four-hour time frame, we will have the systems down for as short a period as possible, and bring the systems back on line as quickly as possible each Sunday.

NOTE: This Web page is updated with scheduled system information during regular business hours (Monday - Friday, 7:30am - 5:00pm). Please review the System Interruptions for detailed information on unscheduled system downtimes and outages.
