The MPLS failover has been changed to Tuesday, March 28 – Thursday, March 30, 2017 and the backup dates are Tuesday, April 4 – Thursday, April 6, 2017 to conduct a MPLS failover.

Issue #1  Family of Services (FOS)-CIP

The FOS-CIP server failed with a hardware failure.  The SA rebuilt a replacement server on the VMware cluster and spent a couple weeks trying to get it working before finding out the Unidata developers have also had issues getting LDM to receive FOS data on a virtual platform.  The SA is now begun building a bare-metal server here at NSOF (PowerEdge R710, CD0001675384, Serial #3Y3KJN1) that will be relocated down to Wallops on Thursday, March 2 to be implemented.  If FOS-CIP is not up and running for the MPLS failover, listed below are the products that will be affected:

SATEPSPROD1:

Imager ASOS

GICP

GSIP

ABBA

SATEPSPROD2:

CSBT

AWIPS Composite

SATEPSPROD3:

HD Winds can use FOS but will not fail without

TRaP *** not running at CIP

FIMMA

SATEPSPROD4:

SFOV *** not running at CIP

Additional:

LDM

Lightening

Winds Profiler

RADAR

SAB Users - WXTLIST

ORA Users

Nancy's web products

Issue #2: The DDSPROD-CIP server failed while attempting to install Powerpath.  The SA is currently working with IBM to resolve this issue but at this moment the virtual will not boot.

Issue #3: The HMS application due to an updated code needs to be moved to Gp60-CIP from Gp55-CIP.  We will need to expand resources on gp60- CIP at which point the programmer expects to require a week to complete the work.  The CCR went through the CCB today.
