Service status history
[Closed] Planned Maintenance - Oracle Hosting and Administration
ITS will perform maintenance on most of the Oracle production databases. Each of the following databases will be down for approximately 15 minutes during the window:
cdtaprod, commprod, dentprod, hosphrp, hprod, imfoprod, itconnp, mauiprod, vaultprd, wiresprd, wrkflowp
[Closed] Planned Maintenance - Clickers
During the maintenance window, Top Hat may be unavailable and visitors will see a maintenance page. Any educator who has made an assignment due during or shortly after the maintenance window should consider changing the due date/time so that students have adequate time to complete them.
[Closed] Planned Maintenance - Oracle Hosting and Administration
ITS will be performing maintenance in the Data Center (see alert: https://its.uiowa.edu/alert/11566) that will affect all Oracle production databases. During this window, network access to the databases will be disrupted, with each database experiencing an expected outage of approximately 5–10 minutes.
Any job running against a database at the time of the outage will likely fail and need to be rerun. To avoid interruptions, it is recommended to reschedule any special or time‑sensitive jobs outside of the 6:00–8:00 a.m. maintenance window.
[Closed] Planned Maintenance - Data Center Operations & Services
The Top of Rack (TOR) network switches in the Information Technology Facility (ITF) datacenter, OneIT Data Hall, will be upgraded between 6 and 8am.
The Data Center Hosting team has identified devices lacking network redundancy at the TOR level. Those device systems/service owners have been contacted in a separate email, including a meeting invitation (and expectation) to attend the Infrastructure Day bridge event on Saturday morning.
For devices with TOR or alternate networking redundancy at the device level, there will be no interruption of service.
[Closed] Planned Maintenance - Campus Data Network Connectivity, IT Distribution Center
The Networking team will be upgrading network code at ITDC during this work window.
[Closed] Planned Maintenance - High Performance Computing
The Argon HPC service will be down for regular maintenance from 8:00 AM on February 11th until 8:00 AM on February 12th. During the maintenance all jobs will be stopped and users will be unable to log in.
[Closed] Planned Maintenance - Interactive Data Analytics Service (IDAS)
Active sessions will continue to run. There is a small chance that new sessions may not be able to launch during the maintenance window. We recommend logging into IDAS and starting your session before the maintenance window.
[Closed] Planned Maintenance - Large Scale Storage (LSS)
ITS Enterprise Infrastructure will be conducting networking updates for the Research Systems located in the ITF Data Center. These updates will result in the following Large Scale Storage systems having multiple network disruptions over the course of the maintenance window.
Research Services recommends saving and closing all files stored on LSS before the maintenance occurs to prevent data loss or corruption.
