Subject: [Wikitech-l] Downtime due to network maintenance, Friday July 31st 12:00 UTC<br>To: Wikimedia developers <<a href="mailto:wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org" target="_blank">wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a>><br>
<br><br>Hello,<br>
<br>
Due to a problem in one of our core routers in our Tampa cluster we need<br>
to perform some network maintenance tomorrow, Friday July 31st around<br>
12:00 UTC. We will be performing a software upgrade and reboot of the<br>
router. This should not take more than a few minutes if everything goes<br>
well. Unfortunately this means that practically all sites and services<br>
will be down during that time.<br>
<br>
For those interested: one of the line cards in the router failed earlier<br>
this week. A replacement has arrived, but does not boot up correctly<br>
after hot plugging. Because we want to upgrade the firmware anyway, we<br>
will reboot the entire box.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
