[Pansophy] pansophydb operating system upgrade

[Valerie Bookwalter]

Bobby,

Thanks for the update. David had team msg me about this.

Absolutely, we should upgrade our server.
I will put it on our SRFOPS schedule to ensure any work planned for that weekend (if any at all) will need to be done without our server. I don't see this as a problem.

Thank you!

Valerie –

We need to upgrade the operating system in a few of our database servers and one of them is yours – pansophydb.jlab.org (dbl1.jlab.org, 129.57.35.134).  The CNI group is trying to upgrade all the RHEL 7 machines to RHEL 8 since version 7 is no longer supported.  We are tentatively planning this upgrade for morning of Saturday, Feb. 22nd .

We have done the upgrade already on one of our dev database servers and it took about 2 hours so I think pansophydb would only be down for a bit – possibly sometime around noon (we have 2 other machines that are also getting done that morning so yours may end up last).

Is this OK with you?  I’m not sure how much your systems get used on the weekends but I’m hoping that a couple hour outage wont be a big deal…
