Subject: Administrative: Planned Suomi-NPP Consolidated
BackUp (CBU) Exercise - Issued August 7, 2017 2000Z
Topic: Planned S-NPP Consolidated BackUp (CBU) Exercise
from Fairmont, WV facility
Date/Time Issued: August 7, 2017 2000Z
Product(s) or Data Impacted: S-NPP products
Date/Time of the Initial Impact: September 6, 2017 1200
UTC
Date/Time of Expected End: September 6, 2017 2000 UTC
(for
data operations) and September 8, 2017 1200 UTC (for
flight/satellite operations)
Length of the Outage: TBD
Details/Specifics of Change:
All S-NPP data processing and flight/satellite operations will be
failed over to the Consolidated Back Up (CBU) site at Fairmont,
WV
on September 6, 2017 in support of a test of the CBU capability.
The purpose of the exercise is to ensure the ability to fail over
S-NPP flight and data operations to the CBU and to test our
ability to switch back to the NSOF primary facility upon
conclusion of the exercise.
The flight/satellite operations failover portion of the test will
last 48 hours and the data operations failover test will run for
approximately 8 hours. During the data operations failover test,
there will be no S-NPP data produced at NSOF. A subset of
critical
S-NPP data will be made available via the PDA located at CBU only
for users with connectivity to that backup system. GOES-16 and
other non-S-NPP products available via PDA at NSOF will be
unaffected by this test and will still be produced and
distributed
through the PDA at NSOF.
The CBU Facility Backup Exercise will begin at 08:00 AM EDT /
12:00 UTC on Sep 6, 2017. The CBU site will be the operational
S-NPP product generation and distribution system for
approximately
8 hours. The return to nominal ESPC operations at NSOF will be
initiated by 04:00 PM EDT / 20:00 UTC on September 6, 2017. The
S-NPP flight/satellite operations portion of the test will
continue to run until Sep 8, 2017 at 08:00 EDT / 12:00 UTC.
In the event that critical weather is declared on the test date,
the exercise may be cancelled and rescheduled for following day
(i.e. Sep 7, 2017) – details will be provided at a later
date.
