The OPLIN Network Hub is moving, and every circuit will be =
electronically
rolled over from one location to another. This work will be done =
carefully
and deliberately, region by region, and you will receive a letter in the
mail from OPLIN when we are ready to move your region. The letter will
reiterate points in this message, and provide more precise details on =
the
timing of the move. The first batch of letters will go out Monday, but =
it
may be months before we finish the entire state.
=20
The key things you will want to know are:
=20
* When this event does occur, your OPLIN circuit will be down =
very
briefly, probably no longer than a half hour.
* All this work will take place between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m. No
library should be down after 9 a.m.
* We cannot give you a precise date for your library. You will =
be
given a two-week window of dates. You might want to avoid running
pre-scheduled processes that use the network between 5 a.m. and 9 a.m.
during that period.
* OPLIN staff will call you between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. on the day
your circuit is rolled over to update you on its status.
* Beginning the first week in October, you can go to
<http://support.oplin.org/> http://support.oplin.org to find a list of
libraries scheduled for each day approximately 48 hours before they are
scheduled to be moved.=20
=20
Why are we doing this? DAS Network Services requested the move for =
security
reasons and in order to provide more effective support management. They =
are
removing operations from the Rhodes Tower in downtown Columbus and
consolidating it in the State of Ohio Computing Center. We are taking =
to
opportunity to expand our capacity at the same time.
=20
We don't anticipate problems, but are prepared to proceed slowly and =
restore
the original configurations if needed.
