Hi all, We are planning on doing a system upgrade on our OVSCI automation system this Friday 9/9/22.
This will affect our upstream robots (i.e. ovs, ovn, dpdk). This affects patchwork sync and github actions sync, etc. After the upgrade is completed the robots will be started again and expected to work normally. Any obvious issues that appear will be resolved on demand The upgrade will start estimated at 9AM EST and last for the entire day The highlights are: * First and foremost Backup. If we run into any major roadblocks we can always rollback * Upgrade from rhel7.9 to rhel8.4 * After the upgrade Jenkins jobs will be enabled manually one by one for testing and making sure they work properly * We have done some testing with the upgrade ahead of time so we know what to expect. However, there is still a chance of unexpected things to happen. This is why we are enabling jobs one by one. This will allow us to fix any issues on demand
