[OPS] Firmware Upgrades

Our team has updated our routers to the latest OPNsense firmware
release. Everything should be working as expected, but let us
know if that isn’t the case.

Updates, Upgrades, Reboots and more!

Our team has been busy this morning doing updates to our
various VMs, hosts and services on the network. It seems
that everything went nicely and all systems should be up
and operational. Total down time was around ten minutes.

Scheduled Reboot, Saturday April 13th

Our team has scheduled a reboot of our physical server. This
is due to updates including a newer kernel. During the reboot
our website, mail server and transit network will not be
available. The outage is estimated to last about ten minutes
and the reboot is set for 2330EST.

After the reboot, our team will begin working on our routers
to install firmware updates to them, meaning that our project
members will see brief periods of connectivity outages. Seeing
as this is a minor firmware update, we aren’t expecting any
problems and should have the network fully function in under
an hour after the reboot of the physical server.
