Recycle of z/VM system hosting Linux servers


Martha McConaghy
 

The last stage of moving to our new DS8910 is now here.  I have to move the core z/VM system volumes, which requires an outage of the system.  I would like to do this work tomorrow, Thursday July 21 starting at 16:00ET.  This will require shutting down all of your servers first, before I can shut down VM and do my work.  I estimate the outage to be about 2 hours, though it will probably be much less.  I will email everyone when the move is done and VM is back up.  Some of your servers are not automated to come up after a recycle, so you will have to start it up yourself.  

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

The recycle has been completed.  Took a little longer than I planned due to a lot of other, unrelated stuff going on today.  I should  not have to recycle it again, at least.  

The servers that have been automated are all up and they look fine.  You should check them out to be sure.  Let me know if any of you run into a problem.
