Replace all AD users givenName (firstName) attribute value with preferred givenName if it exists (CR#9566)
Resolved
What is happening:
A change will be implemented to replace the givenName (firstName) attribute value for all users (including staff and students) in the directory, with a preferred givenName (if this has been recorded in upstream systems such as Aurion, Sinet and Prism).
Moving forward, the givenName attribute value for AD users will be set to the preferred givenName if one has been recorded in upstream systems such as Aurion, Sinet and Prism.
This attribute flows outwards to the UQ Azure / M365 tenancy, so the values will also be updated in the central Azure Active Directory.
*Note that this will not affect email displayName, which is base...d on the value of the AD displayName attribute, which is already formulated using the preferred givenName.
**Also Note: An initial pilot will be run across accounts belonging to the ITS org unit, prior to processing the remaining accounts.
Why this is happening:
The givenName (firstname) attribute is fed to Active Directory directly from Prism and this is based on the formal first name as provided by upstream systems such as Sinet, Aurion and Prism.
This will be replaced with preferred givenName if there has been one specified in the upstream systems.
Currently there is an override process which occurs routinely to update particular user names to their preferred givenName, requested on an ad-hoc basis. This process will no longer be required for givenNames.
The problem with the formal givenName is that it often includes a middle name or non-preferred first name, which is confusing when consumed and advertised by downstream systems reliant on AD, including but not limited to Microsoft Teams.
If a legal or more formal name is required by downstream systems, this should be obtained from a more authoritative source of this data, eg. DataHub.

Some RDM Q collections have unavailable offline files, collection access to HPCs
Resolved
UQ RCC have detected a filesystem cluster resource issue in the CXFS legacy filesystems that provide storage to Q collections older than January 4th 2021.
This has resulted in access to these collections being offline. This will impact recalls from QBI, IMB and ITS caches for these older collections. The vendor is engaged and has identified a bug and is patching the system with an emergency update to correct the availability failure in the immediate.
Please note, this outage does not impact newer Q collections using the UQ03 filesystems based on native GPFS-DMF7 (those that are newer or were created on or after January 4th, 2021).
UQ RCC staff and the v...endor are working to resolve this issue as fast as possible to return service to impacted clients.

Replace PRNDC2-D7-2 leaf switch in Prentice NextGen DC and connect host back to leaf switch to re-instante redundancy.
Following the RCA from Cisco we now have a root cause of the reason for the impact and a method for bringing up this switch and host connection to it without disruption.
The change is divided into two phases and thus taking a most risk adverse approach to mitigate any potential for impact. This method has been discussed with Cisco and confirmed.
1) Power up switch and apply required firmware and ad into ACI fabric
2) Connect Host interfaces back to switch.
