POSTPONED: Jacobs Hall Network Maintenance, Tues. Aug. 5 6AM

July 31, 2025 by Derek Calderon

At 6AM on Tuesday, August 5th, we will be migrating the first set of Jacobs Hall subnet gateways to new router hardware. This is being done because the current hardware is end-of-life, and also as part of a project to refresh Jacobs Hall networks to the current campus standard.

The following networks will be affected:
– Jacobs Hall general-use wired network (169.229.62.0/24)
– Jacobs Hall wireless networks

During this maintenance, the networks above will be unavailable for a period of time. We expect all work to be complete by 7AM.

Update 8/4: We are postponing this maintenance due to ongoing troubleshooting of a fiber link issue. A new announcement will be made when this work is re-scheduled. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu with any questions.

Cory 165 Network Maintenance, Wed. June 4th 10AM-12PM

May 28, 2025 by Derek Calderon

On Wednesday, June 4th, between 10AM and 12PM, we will be replacing the Ethernet switches in the Cory 165 server room. The current switches have reached the end of their useful life, and with the newer hardware we can begin to provide some limited 10G connectivity.

All systems in Cory 165 will experience a brief interruption in network connectivity, typically less than one minute, as connections are moved to the new switches. No action should be necessary, but a reboot may help if you notice any issues afterwards.

Update 6/4 11:32: This work has been completed. Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you notice any ongoing issues.

NetApp Fileserver Maintenance, Saturday May 24, 2025

May 19, 2025 by Lars Rohrbach

We are scheduling a NetApp ONTAP upgrade, to apply a necessary update to our NetApp fileserver, from 8am to 12pm on Saturday, May 24, 2025.

All Home directories and Project shares (CIFS/SMB and NFS) may experience disconnection during the update that may cause data loss on active, open files.  Please close your open files and save them before Saturday morning. Services (e.g. webservice) that depend on this storage will also be temporarily down or unresponsive.

When maintenance is completed, NFS clients should automatically resume normal operation, but a reboot should help if they don’t. CIFS clients (such as Windows and MacOS) may need to remount filesystems, or simply be rebooted.
