Expected Duration:
2018-06-20 12:00:00
Status:
Closed
Brief Description:
On Wednesday, June 20, 2018, from 4:00am to 8:00am, the DNSdb Prod servers (jonquil4 and sf-infranode052) will undergo standard operating system updates.
User Impact:
The DNSdb server provides several functions, including Network Registry, Network Quarantine, DNS data, and CIT's DHCP data and network management. A DNSdb server outage does not impact ongoing DNS or DHCP services, which are provided by separate servers. It does prevent updates to DNS and DHCP throughout the outage. For the duration, users cannot register new computers for RedRover, etc., and NetAdmins cannot make use of DNSdb add/delete/change/display functions.
Services Affected:
Domain Name Services (DNS)
Network Registry
Subsites Affected:
