Migration of two database servers on 3/12/2017 at 7am

On 3/12/2017, starting at 7am and expected to be completed before 9am, DoIT will be migrating the data and service from web-db1.core.umbc.edu and deptdb.core.umbc.edu to virthostdb1-v1.core.umbc.edu.  This migration is being done to upgrade existing software and allow for stable and maintainable databases moving forward.

Existing, in-use databases and their configurations will be migrated to this new database server.  DNS changes will be made so that the existing DNS names will respond on this new server, so no work is expected of the users of these databases at this time.

If you use either of these two database servers and have questions or concerns, please contact the TSC at x5383 and reference this notice.  Thank you for your understanding.
