SiteNow's hosting provider will be performing maintenance. Some applications may experience a temporary interruption of service.

The shared hosting SQL Server instances IOWASQLPROD7 (IOWASQLHOST1/2/3) and IOWASQLPROD8 (IOWASQLSEC4) will be intermittently unavailable while ITS performs scheduled maintenance to migrate storage to new physical hardware.  Although no application changes are necessary for this maintenance, the extended database downtime may cause certain applications to hang and require a service restart after the work is complete.

A total outage of up to 90 minutes per system is expected sometime during this maintenance window.  Please contact the SQL Server DBA team at ITS-SQL-Help@uiowa.edu if you are

Printing to print queues on IOWAPRINT01, IOWAPRINT02, IOWAPRINT03, and IOWAPRINT04 will not be affected unless it requires the PaperCut client software. 

There will be two separate ITS NES Datacenter Network Refresh project changes taking place on the October Infrastructure Day. See below for details:

1. The ITF datacenter firewall uplinks will be moved.  This will occur on the non-active hardware first and thus should not incur any downtime due to the redundant nature of the datacenter firewalls.
2. The ITF F5 uplinks will be moved to the new datacenter network fabric.  This will occur on the non-active hardware first and should not incur any downtime due to the redundant nature of the F5.

Testing by ITS staff will be completed and customer application
