The CCI Virtualization management interfaces will be upgraded to vRealize Automation 7.4 (4/23-4/24/2018).

Update: After the update a number of deployed VMs are missing their controls (power on/off, etc.). We are working to resolve this and should have a fix in place by 1200 on 4/24. If you need assistance in an emergency please reach out via email or via the Help Desk (4-HELP). Thank you.

------------------

This will affect manageability during the upgrade. Workloads will stay online and will continue to be reachable via SSH, RDP, and so on.

Customers needing to conduct management activities during the outage (power operations, snapshots, restores, etc.) are urged to reach out to cci-virtualization@doit.wisc.edu or the Help Desk. Admins will be present to help with urgent needs.

CCI Virtualization maintenance windows are Tuesdays. This is expedited due to security advisories. We apologize for the short notice but are being asked by Cybersecurity to expedite this work.

Following the interface outages there will be further work to adjust the deployable blueprints, templates, and look & feel, but normal management operations should be possible.
