OSG Repo

Updating DNS / LVS configuration to make it more standard.
OS Updates

We will be updating all RHEL 5 and RHEL 6 servers to the latest packages from Red Hat. This will require reboots.
Virtual Machine Hosts

VM host “vm01” is being updated to the same version of VMware as all other VMware hosts. As this will take place at the same time as OS updates that require reboots, this will not make a noticeable difference in downtime.
