ITS Enterprise Infrastructure will perform maintenance on the underlying storage infrastructure supporting shared SQL Server database hosting systems on Monday, August 10, beginning at 6:00 PM.

This maintenance affects databases hosted on IOWASQLPROD7 (legacy aliases include IOWASQLHOST1, IOWASQLHOST2, and IOWASQLHOST3), as well as IOWASQLPROD8 (legacy alias IOWASQLSEC4).

During the maintenance window, hosted databases may be unavailable for up to 30 minutes. After maintenance is complete, some applications may require services to be restarted or application servers to be rebooted before normal operation is restored.

If you have questions about this maintenance, including whether your application or database is affected, please contact the SQL Server DBA team at ITS-SQL-Support@uiowa.edu.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we complete these infrastructure improvements.
