Office of Information Technology will be performing routine systems maintenance which includes but is not limited to rebooting Windows servers as deemed necessary, installing critical patches and other health checks on Thursday, 03\/05\/2015 from 12:01 AM to 7:00 AM during OIT maintenance window. In addition, the following systems will be specifically impacted:<\/p>\n
***************************************************
\nUpgrade NetApp filers bocana03 and bocana04
\nWhen: 6:00AM to 7:00AM
\nAffected services: ANDI drives
\nAffected systems: bocana03, bocana04
\nDescription of maintenance: Upgrade NetApp filers bocana03 and bocana04 from 8.1.4P2 to 8.1.4P7, which contains the latest security fixes.
\nUser impact: There might be a \u200b30 second pause while filer fails over to its partner. If so, try reconnecting to network drive.<\/p>\n
***************************************************
\nBlackboard Building Block Updates
\nWhen: 3:00AM to 6:00AM
\nAffected services: Blackboard\u200b
\nAffected systems: Blackboard\u200b
\nDescription of maintenance: OIT will be updating several Building Blocks including : Retention Center, Achievements, Blackboard Mobile, and Self and Peer Assessment
\nUser impact: Blackboard will be intermittently unavailable during this process which will require multiple restarts\u200b.<\/p>\n
***************************************************
\nLDAP Account Lockout
\nWhen: 12:00AM to 12:05AM
\nAffected services: Self Service, Single Sign On, Blackboard, Shibboleth, CAS, Google Applications, and NetID authentication.
\nAffected systems: ldapboc0, ldapboc1, cas1, cas2
\nDescription of maintenance: To decrease the likely hood of users accounts being attacked via single sign on we plan to lock accounts for 5 minutes after 10 failed logins.
\nAfter implementation users who fail to successfully login to single sign on 10 times will have their accounts locked for 5 minutes. This change will help protect numerous services from potential data breach.
\nUser impact: SSO will be offline for a short period of time while we upgrade the CAS server.<\/p>\n
***************************************************
\nGlibc patch reboot
\nWhen: 12:00AM to 12:15AM
\nAffected services: PCI-DNS, DNS forwarder for PCI systems\u200b
\nAffected systems: \u200bAll systems on PCI networks that utilize DNS
\nDescription of maintenance: OIT will reboot a server that was recently converted from from redhat linux to scientific linux and patches were applied including glibc update.
\nUser impact: No impact is expected. Although clients cache their DNS responses, we are planning the maintenance during a time that PCI services are not in use in order to be cautious.<\/p>\n
