Maintenance Results

Bb was off-line August 5-7 in order to perform some needed preventative maintenance and software updates to the environment. In addition to applying a needed hot fix and an upgrade to Java, we were able to bring the system down and make some configuration changes to strengthen the fail-over capabilities of the application servers.

During the testing phase once the changes were applied, we were able to login to Bb and cycle the power for each of the two servers, all without being logged off of the system. Bottom line, the likelihood of our students or faculty getting bumped off of the system because of a (single) server issue is greatly reduced.

Thanks to our Bb faculty for allowing us to interrupt your prep time for the Fall session in order to make our system better.
