Many services will be unavailable
Information Technology Services will perform a necessary, scheduled storage hardware upgrade Sunday, Oct. 22. The outage requires bringing down a variety of ITS services and applications from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
General ITS services that will be unavailable include UNM e-mail, LoboWeb, MyUNM, FastInfo, Internet Native Banner, Demographic Self Service, Ejobs/Ehire, Vista, Vislab, Peregrine, and the UNM and any other Web sites hosted at ITS.
Banner services affected by this outage include all Banner databases and applications (both production and non-production), Hyperion, ODS, LoboMart, LoboPhone, Banner Authorization Request (BAR), and Workflow.
“The infrastructure that supports these services and applications must be upgraded simultaneously and cannot be done separately,” said Bill Adkins, chief information officer. “While there is no ‘good’ time to bring down major systems, the storage upgrade is critical, and ITS apologizes for the inconvenience.”
Services available during the upgrade period will be the UNM network, Internet access, IDMS, Domain Name Servers (DNS) and DHCP.
