We will be adding two new services to the Netscalers, one will be for blogs.oregonstate.edu and the other will be adding an SSL certificate to media.oregonstate.edu.  After the SSL certificate is added for media.o.e we will redirect all http requests to https.

These changes will not impact current services in anyway, with the exception of media.o.e which will see its http traffic redirected.

On July 20th I will be applying vmware updates to ESXi host in Prod 1,  2, 3 clusters. This is a rolling maintenance and will not create any outages for running guest vm’s.  As they will be live migrated off one blade at time as its put into maintenance mode and patches applied.

Regular remote access mechanisms like ssh or remote desktop to the VMs will be unaffected. All VMs and their services will continue to run as normal. There should be no customer impact.
