Re: Maintenance Window(s) Procedures

["HALL, NATHANIEL D." <halln () OTC EDU>]

Our maintenance window for relatively minor changes is daily at 1am to
4am.  If we need more time then we can usually work all day Sunday.  We
also have rare days when the college is closed and we can take things
down for two or three days.

To the Educause Community:

 

We are currently in the process of rethinking our maintenance window and
procedures for servers, applications and devices.  We were wondering how
other institutions have gone about doing this.  If you could help with
some information on how your institution decided the time(s)/day(s) of
your maintenance window and would like to share we would really
appreciate it.   Also, any information on the level of communication
with the departments that were the business owners of applications and
how their input swayed your decisions any would be helpful as well.

 

Thanks in advance.
