Mozilla Scheduled Downtime - 8/22/2006, 7pm - 10pm PDT (0200 - 0500 UTC)

We will have a scheduled downtime window this coming Tuesday from 7pm to
10pm PDT. The following changes will take place:

* 7pm PDT - NAS network settings changes. We will be updating network
settings on our NAS. No expected downtime, but intermittent network
filesystem access is possible through the window.
* 7pm PDT - Webtools migration. Bonsai, LXR and Tinderbox will be
migrated to a new machine. 30-60 min of downtime is expected but could
extend through the window.
* 8pm PDT - Updating firewall rules to internal networks. This will
help improve network isolation and security. No expected downtime, but
intermittent network connectivity is possible.
* 8pm PDT - SSH access to/from mecha will be disabled. If you use this
host as a jumphost, you need an account on the new VPN server (announced
multiple times).

Please let us know if you have any reason why we should not proceed with
the planned maintenance. As always, we aim to keep downtime to as
little as possible, but unexpected complications can arise causing
longer downtime periods than expected. All systems should be
operational by the end of the maintenance window. Feel free to email
in...@mozilla.org if you see issues past the planned downtime.
