Central database scheduled maintenance - 6th March 2008Permanent Link to Central database scheduled maintenance - 6th March 2008

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

One of the Universities central database servers will be unavailable between 8am and 10am on Thursday 6th March 2008.

What does this mean for ResNet? Most people won't notice, it should have no impact on existing registered connections at all. However, the following services will be unavailable:

  • Registration System. This will be unavailable to new customers. Existing customers should be ok.
  • We don't think that My ResNet will be affected, but it may be in some cases.
  • We will be unable to sell subscriptions during the maintenance period.

Some other university systems will be unavailable as well. For more information, see http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/news/2008/datahub6mar.html

The database server which runs various chunks of ResNet will be unavailable on saturday morning for about 2 hours due to some essential systems maintenance.

Customers with existing connections will be unaffected - your connection will continue to function as normal

The maintenance will affect the following parts of ResNet

  • The in-room registration system for new customers will be unavailable
  • The My ResNet system will be unavailable
  • The slink url shortening service will be unavailable
  • All our back-end administration tools will be unavailable, but you're unlikely to notice that anyway :-)

Various other university services will be unavailable during the maintenance period, see the following IS News article for more details.

One of the Universities central database servers will be unavailable between 8am and 9am on Thursday 24th Jan for some essential systems maintenance.

This will mean that the following ResNet services will be unavailable:

  • The in-room registration service for new users
  • Some parts of My ResNet may also be unavailable

All existing ResNet connections should continue to work uninterrupted and most customers won’t notice anything.
There are a handful of other University services which will also be unavailable during the maintenance period. For more details, please see the IS News website: http://www.bris.ac.uk/is/news/2008/datahub24jan.html

We've just heard from FreewireTV that they will be doing some electrical work on one of the power feeds to their data centre on Saturday morning, between 10:30am and 12:30.

There should be no interruption to the ResNet TV service during this period, but we thought we should give you all a heads up incase something goes wrong.
