There is 3 hour OpenSRS Cluster A maintenance starting now (04:00 UTC).

Service Impact:
Within this window, we will be shutting down the cluster for a period of approximately 2 hours to perform necessary maintenance. The additional hour will be used for testing and quality assurance.

Our Operations team has detected a hardware failure on a redundant component of our NetApp Storage device. Currently there is no impact to your services or the cluster performance. We are 100% online. In order to minimize any risks to our customers we are exercising extreme caution in repairing this component. Thus, we will be performing a complete shutdown of the cluster before proceeding with our work.

OpenSRS Email Cluster A will be offline. Customers will have no access to their mailboxes via IMAP, POP and Webmail. Provisioning services and inbound/outbound mail will also be unavailable. Inbound mail will be queued remotely for delivery once the window is complete.

The anticipated time for the cluster to be offline is approximately 2 hours. We are scheduling a 3 hour window as a precaution, however we do not expect to utilize the whole window.

Please note: This maintenance window is not related to tomorrow's service upgrade to Webmail 5.5.
