Planned: Scheduled Data Center Network Maintenance October 4, 2020

Date: 10/4/2020

Start time: 12:00 AM (midnight)

End time: 8:00 AM

Services affected: Data Center VPN Connections
 

ISC will be performing scheduled Data Center network infrastructure maintenance on Sunday, October 4, from 12:00 AM through 8:00 AM.

Several actions being completed between midnight and 2:00 AM will cause Data Center VPN connections to momentarily drop. When connectivity returns, VPN tunnels will automatically reconnect, but anyone using the Forticlient VPN will need to reestablish their connections manually.  We do not expect this maintenance to cause any additional service disruptions or downtime.

In addition, ISC data center network uplinks will be moved to core routers and the storage network switch hardware will be upgraded. No service impact is expected from that work.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Client Care at http://supportcenter.upenn.eduhelp@isc.upenn.edu, or 215-898-1000.
