1908-7534 - Migration of the School of Life Sciences Datacentre networks

The project team has finished the migration work and has tested as much as possible. Would you please check your services and report any issues through the 'SLS Datacentre Migration' support form, available from the Self Service portal.

Any issues logged from now will be picked up tomorrow morning by the project migration team, who will focus entirely on resolving any post-migration issues.

As previously mentioned, this migration was complex, and issues will crop up. Therefore, the School should consider all services at risk for a few days after the migration.

Many thanks for your patience during this work.

The project team are running through some final tests. We will shortly ask sysadmins to test their services and report any issues through the SLS Datacentre Migration support form, available from the 'Self Service portal' - https://uod-servicedesk.topdesk.net/tas/public/ssp/

The work is underway. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

We're migrating all Datacentre networks associated with the School of Life Sciences on the weekend of the 11th & 12th of December. During this time, all School services should be considered unavailable. This migration process is complex, and issues will crop up during and after the weekend. Therefore, the School should consider all services at risk for a few days after the migration. Please note the project migration team will focus entirely on resolving any post-migration issues.

This work will replace old network infrastructure, deliver a more resilient network and datacentre, and provide a platform to introduce additional services.

We'll update this post with progress.
