EECS Network Scheduled Outage on Mar. 29 2014

by

We will be having a large scheduled outage of the EECS network in order to physically relocate some core devices as Phase Three of a project to overhaul the EECS network core. This maintenance will occur between 10AM and 6PM on Saturday, March 29, 2014. We do not anticipate the outage to last for the full eight hours, but extra time has been allotted in case of complications.

Expected impacts of this outage include:

– Internet connectivity to all EECS Wired buildings* will be offline
– Soda Hall wired and wireless networking will be entirely offline
– BWRC will be isolated from EECS and unable to access the Internet or EECS network resources
– Wireless networking in EECS Airspace** will be unavailable (the networks will continue to be visible in some locations, however the underlying network services will be offline)
– EECS Wired buildings other than Soda Hall and BWRC should retain connectivity and access to EECS network resources (filers, AD, etc.), but to reiterate, the Internet connection will be unavailable.

We apologize for any inconvenience that this maintenance will cause. For any questions or concerns about the maintenance, please email networks@eecs.berkeley.edu.

Thank you, IRIS Network Group

*EECS Wired buildings are Soda, Cory, and Sutardja Dai Halls, and the BWRC

**EECS Airspace includes Soda, Cory, Sutardja Dai, Calvin, and Blum Halls, as well as the Sibley Auditorium, Hearst Memorial Mining Building, and BWRC

Network outage in NanoLab

The switch in slot 2 of citsum6M81 in the NanoLab on the 6th floor of Sutardja Dai Hall has failed. As a result, some wired networking services on the 5th and 6th floors are likely impaired. Network staff are currently preparing a replacement switch and intend to have the outage resolved early this evening. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this outage.

EECS Switching Upgrade

by

EECS Community,

In preparation for the upcoming opening of Calvin Hall, IDSG will be making a number of small modifications to the switching core of the EECS network tomorrow, Friday the 21st, between 8:00 AM and 11:00 AM. These changes are not expected to have any user facing impacts but changes of this nature always carry with them an inherent risk.

As always please report any issues you experience to help@eecs.berkeley.edu.

Thank you,
