Cutover
• From 9:00-10:00 Brisbane time
• A few problems during cutover– Need fine tuning to handle the high load
• Some hosts gets blocked for intensive queries behavior (spam mining?)
– Web interface replacement needed more time than planned (extra 10 minutes)
Data Cleanup
• Unprotected objects
• inetnum/inet6num status:– ALLOCATED PORTABLE– ALLOCATED NON-PORTABLE– ASSIGNED PORTABLE– ASSIGNED NON-PORTABLE– UNSPECIFIED
