Subject: Administrative, Update #2: ESPC Server Rack Realignment This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------050508000501070605030809 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit *Update:* Work on the ESPC rack moves continue. Expected completion of work is December 20, 2012 at 0030 UTC. At that time we expect to switch LRIT and GINI back to primary systems at NSOF. We will continue to receive other GOES, MTSAT, MSG, and POES via backup ingestors thru approximately 1500 UTC on December 20. No outage is expected. *Update #2:* The ESPC rack relocation phase III has been completed. As of December 20, 0000Z, LRIT and NOAAPORT/GINI systems have been switched back to NSOF from the backup facility. Due to Critical Weather declaration, a decision will be made on Thursday morning as to when remaining GOES, POES, MTSAT, and MSG feeds will be switched back to NSOF. *Topic:* ESPC Data Center server rack realignment Phase 3 *Date/Time Issued*: December 19, 2012 2355 UTC *Product(s) or Data Impacted*: No outage is expected. End users should see no change in service. Please see details. *Date/Time of Initial Impact: * December 19, 2012 1400 UTC (Please note: start time is changed from the original notice) *Date/Time of Expected End:* December 19, 2012 2200 UTC Length of Activity: 8 hours *Details/Specifics of Change:* The ESPC Data Center will undergo Phase 3 of a server rack realignment project at NSOF in preparation for future ground segment equipment installations. TODAY, on Wednesday, December 19, 2012, ESPC network team will be performing scheduled maintenance on the primary GOES, MTSAT, MSG, and POES ingestors. Data ingests will be rerouted via back-up equipment so data processing should continue nominally. No data outages are anticipated during the process; however, as backup systems will be utilized there is an increased risk. If you experience any unexpected failure during this maintenance period that impacts your ability to access ESPC, please notify the ESPC Operations Help Desk using the contact information below. *Update:* Work on the ESPC rack moves continue.
