Veeam renewal
  • Veaam have started sending reminders about renewal of the veeam support contract
  • Tim Whitlock (Deactivated) has asked AIMES if we need to renew via them or directly as they manage the the server but the software is in our name. Currently awaiting a response.
 AIMES HSCN switchover
  • AIMEs will be switching over tfrom N3 to HSCN at 8.00 am on . This will involve changing the ip address of the our remote desktop admin console from 10.38.181.14 to 10.38.181.60.
  • This change will require NBT to change the firewall ip which needs to go before the Approvals Board. Unfortunately this means the earliest it will be done is  around "by 10.30". Which means we may have a period when we have no admin access to the VMs
Outstanding Actions
  • Tim Whitlock (Deactivated) sent email to Larrisa about BCH RaDaR server requirements and proposed access methods.
  • George Swinnerton hasn't progressed the addition of TXT fields to our DNS entires for SSL certificate authentication. Meanwhile the nww.thinkkidneys.nhs.uk certificate has expired. Tim Whitlock (Deactivated) has asked NBT how much it would cost to set up the aliases for this domain (and probably ukrdc.org) and is awaiting some feedback
  • George Swinnerton is awaiting on the statisticians for datalinkages discussed last week.
  • rapolas (Unlicensed) has made a start on the BCH code alongside his other RaDaR tasks.
  • Retha Steenkamp has chased the simplified DSA but it has had to go to the contracts department.Feedback
  • George Swinnerton has had feedback about the simplified proposed method of sending them the data they want. They in general are happy with it.

NHSBT


  • foghorn_leghorn (Unlicensed) has been looking at the NHSBT matching and has had issues with the time it takes and crashing In the future some changes to restart the code from the line it crashed at may be a better solution rather than having to restart from the beginning each time.

Action items

  • foghorn_leghorn (Unlicensed) to complete NHSBT matching work  
  • George Swinnerton to identify and document what is required for the SSL certificates to authenticate with a DNS txt entry so this can be sorted
