Re: Maintenance period -> No warning! Excessively Long!


said by BarterFrost:

Your employment relies on having 100% uptime with NO fallback plan? You *really* need a plan B to deal with power outages/equipment failures. I'm surprised that your company doesn't provide you with anything. Seems a bit amateur/fly-by-night.

That is what i was thinking. It's not the employee's issue if all the employer provides is 1 basic res-DSL connection. Unfortunately that onus is on the company who hired the admin. You want better redundancy, then give your netadmins more options

If it's Monday night, then the notice is wrong. Says Monday morning, as it is now.

Mark, first and foremost I'd like to say thanks for providing the notice. Having notice is always much better than having no notice.

However, I'd also echo the concerns about the vagueness of the impact and reasons for the maintenance window stated in the e-mail. We all realise that things don't always go perfectly during maintenance, and therefore the maintenance windows are planned to be a bit larger than needed. That's just good practise. But what I'd really like to see is a statement like "we are replacing X and expect it to impact Y for about 45mins sometime in the window".

The above seems much more useful than the FAQ section in the e-mail - and in fact would completely remove the need for the FAQ section, as it would be clear what's going on. Currently the FAQ section is just boilerplate text...typical of what one would expect from Rogers/Bell.
