Video – Smart View Maintenance Scripts
A maintenance script is a list of steps for performing maintenance on an asset to ensure that the data center runs smoothly, with no disruption in service. IBX personnel use these scripts when performing maintenance on an asset to ensure that all steps are followed and completed according to equipment manufacturer recommendations.
This page provides a list of documents that outline the procedures for upcoming scheduled maintenance on assets in Equinix Smart View. You can preview and download scripts to understand the maintenance events better.
Tip: The smart data grid allows you to search, sort, and filter the columns. You can also click to select columns to hide/show, or to rearrange the columns. For details, see Smart Data Grids.
Note: Maintenance scripts are only available for scheduled maintenance activities, and might not be available in the event of emergency maintenance.
By default, these columns are displayed in the grid:
Name | Description |
