Upgrade and recycle of IBMISV on Tuesday 1/10/2023


Martha McConaghy
 

I need to upgrade the z/VM system that hosts all the servers on IBMISV at Marist.  This will require a recycle of the hypervisor, which, in turn, means shutting down all of the servers it hosts temporarily.  I would like to do this work on the morning of Tuesday 1/10 between 10am and noon ET.  

Please let me know if this will be a problem for anyone.  I will shut down all the servers and, those that are automated, will come back  up when I am done.  I will notify the list when the recycle is complete so that you can verify that your servers are OK, or restart them as required.

Just a friendly reminder that the z/VM system and guest Linux servers will be getting a recycle tomorrow morning between 9-11am ET.

The recycle of the system is done.  All instances that were automated to be brought up are now running.  I don't see any errors, but have not checked them all.  Please verify that your servers are working properly.  Let me know if there are any problems.

For those servers that have to be brought up manually, you are free to connect in and do them at your convenience.   There should not be any further outages for awhile.
