ACG Web/Database Applications

We will be scheduling an urgent 4 hour Maintenance to update our NetApp fileserver from 8am to 12pm on Saturday, July 8, 2023.  This update must be done prior to installing Microsoft Updates on AD Domain Controllers scheduled for release on Jul 11^th to secure the Netapp and maintain future connectivity with Microsoft AD Domain connection for our CIFS/SMB Shares. 

All Home directories and Project shares (CIFS/SMB and NFS) may experience disconnection during the update that may cause data loss on active, open files.  Please close your open files and save them before Saturday Morning. Services (e.g. webservice) that depend on this storage will also be down or unresponsive.

When maintenance is completed, NFS clients should automatically resume normal operation, but a reboot should help if they don’t. CIFS clients (such as Windows and MacOS) may need to remount filesystems, or simply be rebooted.

We will be performing an OS upgrade on our departmental NetApp filers (upgrading from OnTAP version 9.7 to 9.8), which will require a service outage from 3pm to 9pm on Monday, January 3, 2022. All NFS and CIFS access to the filer (home and project storage) will be down during that time. Services (e.g. webservice) that depend on this storage will also be down or unresponsive.

While we are scheduling a 6 hour maintenance window, we will attempt to minimize the service outage if possible.

When maintenance is completed, NFS clients should automatically resume normal operation. CIFS clients (such as Windows and MacOS) may need to remount filesystems, or simply be rebooted.
