Oracle Forms server patchset
When: 3:00AM to 6:00AM
Affected services: Banner INB​
Affected systems: sctforms and sctforms2​
Description of maintenance: Apply Oracle patchset p16471668_111170_Linux-x86-64 to the production Banner INB forms servers.  This will upgrade Forms version from 11.1.1.6 to 11.1.1.7.

***************************************************

Move root volumes to SATA
When: 4:00AM to 6:00AM
Affected services: N/A
Affected systems: ​IO might be slightly slowed down while the failover/failback occurs.
Description of maintenance: We need to move the root volumes on filers boc22naclm01n05/06 from SSD drives to SATA so we can use the SSDs for a flash pool. This requires that each filer be failed over and then rebooted.
User impact: ​There should be no impact to the end user.  It will be transparent to the user.
