Topic: NSOF VMware Cluster Maintenance

Date/Time Issued: November 22, 2021, 1609 UTC 

Product(s) or Data Impacted: The following VMware clients  in the Geodist Cluster will be unavailable while the  new nsof-vcsa7 appliance is moved in to operations.
 
Date/Time of Initial Impact:  November 22, 2021 15:00 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: November 22, 2021 21:00 UTC

Length of Event:  Approximately up to 6 Hours

Details/Specifics of Change:  Environmental Satellite Processing Center (ESPC) will be powering down the following VMware clients on the esxnsof007 ESXI host: datascan1,  geodist3t, geodist6t, oc-ops-stg01, oc-pts-mgt01, oc-pts-mgt02, oc-pts-stg02, oc-pts-tds01, scatwindsp, and viirsdist.  The esxnsof007 ESXI host will then be moved to the new nsof-vcsa7 appliance and the clients migrated to the host and powered back on. The nature of this work will cause a  delay in Ocean Color products being distributed to the user community. Also the SAR and ASCAT Winds products will be affected during this maintenance period. ASCAT and SAR data arriving during the maintenance outage will not be acquired / will be delayed.

This maintenance will NOT be done on a Critical Weather Day, nor if there are other significant operational issues warranting postponement.
