NAS controller intervention affecting CASTOR databases and LANDB database

 
Description: 

 

As recommended by Netapp support, a replacement of a set of components (motherboard, SAS card and IO extention module) will be done on one of the controllers serving the following CASTOR and IT infrastructure databases: 

c2castorppsdb, c2castordevdb, c2itdcstgdb, c2pubstgsrm, c2lhcbstgsrm, c2repackdbN4, castor, c2cmsstgdb, c2atlasstgdb, c2alicestgsrm and csdbrac

The intervention is expected to be transparent, but, due to its nature, the database services affected are at risk.
