[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (SWSQE-829) Prepare for Middleware Infra Upgrade

Prepare for Middleware Infra Upgrade ------------------------------------ Key: SWSQE-829 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SWSQE-829 Project: Kiali QE Issue Type: QE Task Reporter: Filip Brychta Assignee: Filip Brychta Priority: Major Labels: infrastructure There is outage scheduled for MW Lab. We need to prepare plan for that. More info: Hi, You are receiving this email as a stakeholder of the Middleware lab environment which will be impacted by the following lab work. We are working on a project to upgrade the old Cisco networking infrastructure in the labs to new Juniper hardware. This work will impact all Middleware systems which are in Westford Lab 3. That is, anything with an IP address starting with 10.16.x.x, things with 10.19.x.x addresses will not be impacted. A spreadsheet listing the systems including all hardware can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lSB0cAfX2Jvp0iCJn4gsuArw8mlyqZnG4... Note that this may not show all virtual systems. The main work will be done in two parts: First, we will swap out switches for all the system listed on the "Row E" tab of the spreadsheet. This is scheduled to be done on Monday, August 12th and Tuesday the 13th. After that we will swap out switches for everything else listed on "Row D" and "Row C". This is scheduled to be done on Tuesday, August 20th and Wednesday the 21st. Please expect the noted systems to be unavailable during these days. These dates were scheduled to try to accommodate product releases, though it looks like a couple things were pushed back so it shouldn't be a problem. In preparation for this we will also need to migrate the routing instance for all the affected networks. This will be a much shorter maintenance, no more than an hour should be needed. I was advised that this should just be done outside of BRQ working hours, so will probably be done on a Friday evening or over the weekend. I will update when we have a solid timeframe for that. Additionally, there are a few systems that will need to get moved to the middleware network, and some things which should be physically moved. I will send a separate email to people regarding those. Most things, however, will not be getting new addresses and will simply be inaccessible for the duration of the work. Following each maintenance window the systems should be back online and otherwise unaffected. However, if you do encounter any problems please feel free to respond directly to this email. If you experience issues outside of business hours please refer to the escalation procedures found here: https://mojo.redhat.com/docs/DOC-1049381 Let me know if you have any questions.
