*What is happening?*
Starting at 6AM Sunday morning we will shutting down NameO, NameP and
LDAP-B to apply security updates and reboot one at a time.

NameO and NameP provide redundant services and only one will be down at a
time.   Properly configured systems should notice only short delays.  The
upgrade and reboot of LDAP-B should not affect any user facing services.

*How long will it take?*
Application of security updates should take about 5 minutes per machine,
but we are reserving a total of 30 minutes in case of delays.

*Why is this work necessary?*
New security updates have become available.  Applying these updates in a
timely manner protects all members of the UMS community.

*What happens if the work is not successful?  *
We will back out to snapshots of these machines prior to application of the
updates.
