Because of the increasing demand of B80 & B81 users for more
speed and reliability in the network infrastructure, UITS
management decided to renew the 6 year old network, and to
provide 1 GB wired speed to the user and state of the art wireless
coverage to allow students, faculty members and staff to keep up
with the rapid and continuous need of more internet and intranet
resources to be in use.
Oracle VM Migration
Migrated oracle SPARC VMs from CX300 to CX4-240. This
migration was necessary as CX300 storage will soon be
obsolete. With this migration all of the VMs will be
centralized on the more reliable and higher performance
storage box (CX4).
Upgraded the LDOM manager from version 1.3 to 2.2.
The update contains bug fixes and resource
optimizations which will increase VM stability and
performance. The new version also allows us to change
resources, VM configuration and also migrated VM
while they are still running, thus minimizing down time
and interruption to services.
