Scheduled
ITS Security is performing hardware disk inspection on the secondary campus firewall. A network disruption was noted (for about 10 minutes around 6:10) after completing a reboot of the secondary firewall which impacted high availability functionality.

Disk check is ongoing for secondary firewall. If no errors are noted, we will attempt to rejoin secondary firewall to HA configuration. An brief additional disruption is possible at this point. We will continue to send any updates.
