Hypervisor Firmware Upgrades (MK)
Scheduled for Jan 26, 22:00 GMT - Jan 27, 03:00 GMT
Scheduled
Reason: In order to run future versions of VMware ESXi software on our HP hypervisors, we first need to upgrade the BIOS and iLO firmware.
This maintenance will cover firmware updates on the Milton Keynes hosts using an HP-provided SPP (Service Pack for ProLiant).
Impact: During this change window, hosts will be placed into maintenance mode, vMotioning the virtual servers to other hosts. Due to the sensitive nature of voice servers (SBCs) during such moves, a minor registration dip could occur, however this is unlikely.
Checks: Monitor host health via ILO and Vcenter GUI
Rollback: If firmware upgrade fails HP Proliant servers will revert back to their last known bios ROM version ILO config or back up file.
User actions: N/A
