==================================================
Network Engineers have identified an issue on the rack-level switch which provides private network
connectivity for your server(s). To prevent an unplanned outage resulting in significant downtime, Engineers
will be replacing the ‘A’ switch during a scheduled maintenance window.
Private network services including the following (but not limited to) will be impacted:
- Server to server connectivity on the private network
- iSCSI
- DNS
- NAS
- eVault
- PPTP / SSL VPN connectivity to impacted servers
While the maintenance window is set for 4 hours, we expect approximately 30 minutes of downtime.
Again, NO downtime is expected on the public network.

Scheduled Maintenance – BCR03.DAL05 [02/22/2012]
Date: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 (02/22/2012)
Start Time: 12:00 AM CST
End Time: 03:00 AM CST
Services affected: Private Network
Location: DAL05
Duration: 3 hours
Network Engineers have identified an issue with the primary supervisor in BCR03.DAL05. After working with the vendor, Engineering has determined that in order to resolve the issue, one of the redundant chassis of BCR03.DAL05 will need to be powered down on Wednesday Feb 22nd at 12:00 AM CST. Since there are fully redundant chassis/connections there is no expectation of downtime during the maintenance, but there may be a brief disruption in traffic as control of the router is failed over from one supervisor to the other.
