[IP Voice Services] Maintenance window 1st June 2016
Posted by Adrian Williams on 25 May 2016 03:37 PM
Please be advised of the following maintenance window scheduled on Wednesday, 1st June to IP Voice Services.

Date: Wednesday 1st June 2016
Start time: 0000 BST
End time: 0400 BST

Purpose:

The Engineering team will be performing works to upgrade the Session Border Controller Clusters to the latest patch which contains fixes for a few outstanding issues and also provides improved resilience and stability. These SBC clusters currently serve Hosted customers and 'registering' SIP Trunking customers.

Static/Enterprise SIP Trunk Customers will not be affected as part of this Maintenance window.

Services Affected:

IP Voice Services

Impact:

Very Low

The upgrade will be done on the standby half of the HA Pair followed by failover, and the other half will be upgraded. We do not expect to lose registrations and connected calls as the other half of the SBC cluster will handle the registrations and call attempts

The Engineering team will be closely monitoring all systems and services to ensure any disruption is as brief as possible

Comtec is tracking this issue under ticket WNR-546-29590
