Emergency maintenance MSSQL servers

Emergency maintenance MSSQL servers

18-05-2018 14:00:00 - 18-05-2018 17:30:00

On Friday 18th of May between 14.00h and 17.30h we will perform emergency maintenance.

The current network connections of the MSSQL nodes to the storage servers are sometimes saturated. The capacity of the connections is mostly more then enough but during short periods of time this could lead to timeouts when connecting to the cluster. With an upgrade of the network capacity we are expecting to resolve the saturation of the connections and the timeouts it could lead to. During the maintenance window we start by upgrading the standby node. When successfully upgraded we will do a switchover and upgrade the current master node. When upgrading is done we will switchover once more to restore the current master standby situation.

* The MSSQL cluster servers will be upgraded with new network connections with a bigger capacity. This will cause several switchovers between master-nodes. During these switches MSSQL 2008 or 2012 databases and all MSSQL Instances can be unreachable for a short period of time.

If you have any questions regarding this maintenance, please contact the Customer Care department by phone on +31 (0)318 648 688 or by email on support@bit.nl.
