*Topic:* Planned S-NPP Consolidated Backup (CBU) Exercise from
Fairmont, WV
Facility

*Date/Time Issued:*  September 12, 2017 1315 UTC

*Product(s) or Data Impacted:*	S-NPP/GCOM-W1 products

*Date/Time of the Initial Impact:*  September 19, 2017 1200 UTC

*Date/Time of Expected End: * September 19, 2017 2000  UTC (for
S-NPP and
GCOM-W1 data operations) and September 21, 2017 1200 UTC (for S-NPP
flight/satellite operations)

*Length of the Outage:* see details below

*Details/Specifics of Change: *

All S-NPP/GCOM-W1 data processing and flight/satellite operations
will be
failed over to the Consolidated Back Up (CBU) site at Fairmont, WV on
September 19, 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 of S-NPP and GCOM-W1 to the CBU and also 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, the data operations failover test (which includes IDPS, NDE/PDA,
CLASS and JSH feeds) will run for approximately 7 hours, and a test
of IDMZ
failover will last 24 hours. During the data operations failover test,
there will be no S-NPP/GCOM-W1 data produced at NSOF. A subset
of critical
S-NPP/GCOM-W1 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 / 1200
UTC on
Sep 19, 2017. The CBU site will be the operational S-NPP/GCOM-W1
product
generation and distribution system for approximately 7 hours.
The return
to nominal ESPC operations at NSOF will be initiated by 03:00 PM EDT
/ 1900
UTC on September 19, 2017.  IDMZ services will be transferred to
CBU for
approximately 24 hours and will last until Sep 20 at 1200 UTC. The
S-NPP
flight/satellite operations portion of the test will continue to
run until
Sep 21, 2017 at 09:00 EDT / 1300 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 20,
2017) or a different week (Oct 4 =E2=80=93 6, 2017) =E2=80=93 details
will =
be provided at a
later date.
