[evla-sw-discuss] Database Upgrades on Wednesday 7/8

[Pat Van Buskirk]

The monitor and parameters databases will be upgraded from Oracle 
10g to Oracle 11g on Wednesday 7/8. The upgrade should take most 
of the day and during that time, the databases evlamon and 
evlaparm will not be available.

The operators will switch the executor to the parmback database 
during the upgrade. Monitor data will still be loaded to monstdby 
on mc2host and you may access these data via:

https://mctest.evla.nrao.edu/monstdby-monquery/

It would be best not to make any changes to antenna parameters 
during this upgrade. If you need to do something critical, you 
may update the parmback database. The same data will need to be 
applied to evlaparm once the upgrade is complete. I will do 
evlaparm first, and hope to have it available by noon.

If you have any questions, please let me know. This upgrade also 
includes replacing the host (lando) with a newer machine with 
more storage, allowing us to keep monitor data online for a 
longer period of time.

Cheers,
Pat
