ITS is updating the VAST storage service’s hardware and software to meet MiStorage customer needs. This update will require a planned outage of the MiServer service.
To minimize impacts to MiServer users, the project may define and implement a streamlined failover process to move data from NCDC to ASB during the outage. If developed and tested, this improved process can then be used in the event of a future unplanned outage at NCDC.
