Description:
Switch of the CASTOR central nameserver database to Oracle 11g compatibiltiy mode. This intervention requires a short (~5 minutes) downtime of the database and all activities will be paused during that time, hence timeouts are to be expected on the clients.
At the same time, the VDQM, VMGR and UPV components, running on the same Oracle instance, will be upgraded to version 2.1.12. This change has no visible user impact.
Reason for this intervention:
Align CASTOR software to the same release everywhere and enable the database to run in Oracle 11g mode.

End date:
Tuesday, March 27, 2012 - 10:30
