Installer files for campus site-licensed versions of Adobe Creative Cloud 2015 are now available on both WinSWW and MacSWW. This includes separate installers for Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, and others. Note that access to WinSWW and MacSWW is restricted to those who have Standard IRIS accounts (Limited IRIS accounts do not have access).
Visio Pro 2016 installers (32-bit and 64-bit Windows) are also available on WinSWW.
These installers are intended for use on university-owned machines that are not managed by Campus Shared Services. For personally-owned machines and further information about Adobe and Microsoft licensing on campus, please visit the campus Software Central website.
Special thanks go to AMPLab technical support staff, who handled the initial downloads of these very large files.
As of 4pm Sunday, March 27, we are blocking some access from off-campus devices to printers on the EECS production networks. In particular, incoming traffic to port 9100 (JetDirect) is currently blocked by the department firewall.
Using the campus VPN is one way to work around this block, if you need to print from off-campus. Feel free to contact help@eecs if your printing needs require an alternate solution.

As
previously announced, we are in process of migrating our central file storage
system to a new cluster of Network Appliance hardware.
Beginning February 15 (President’s Day), we will be migrating project and cluster
storage spaces to the new hardware. Initial synchronizations will be done over the
next two weeks, so that the final sync and cutover time will be reduced for the larger project spaces.
We are initially proposing the following schedule:
Time Project New mount
Feb 15 6:00-6:30pm /cproj/nlp proj40.eecs:/nlp
Feb 15 6:15-7:00pm /proj/ptolemy proj40.eecs:/ptolemy
Feb 15 6:45-7:30pm /proj/parlab proj40.eecs:/parlab
Feb 15 6:45-7:30pm /proj/radlab proj30.eecs:/proj30/radlab
Feb 15 7:15-8:00pm /proj/efros proj10.eecs:/efros
Feb 15 9:00pm-7:00am /cproj/(others) proj40.eecs:/cproj/(sharename)
Feb 16 8pm-7am /proj/[a-c]* proj10.eecs:/proj10/(sharename)
Feb 17 8pm-7am /proj/[d-q]* proj20.eecs:/proj20/(sharename)
Feb 18 8pm-7am /proj/[r-z]* proj30.eecs:/proj30/(sharename)
Feb 19 8pm-7am Followup/postponed and missed migrations
If migration of your project space needs to be postponed or scheduled for
a specific time, please
let us know at help@eecs. We know that downtime for
some project spaces needs to be minimized, and
we’ll do our best to coordinate another time with you.
As with the home directories, NFS exports will change. Automount maps will be updated at the designated migration start time. Re-mounts of project spaces will be necessary.
CIFS mounts should use the new node hostnames for best performance, with the
usual sharename, e.g. \\\\proj20.eecs\macsww
Unix SWW is moving to our new storage hardware. There are some changes
to the layout, reflecting the elimination of separately-shared subdirectories.
The new layout is available at:
https://iris.eecs.berkeley.edu/idsg/sww/announcement/SWW-layout
EESWW has also been migrated. See our Unix EESWW info.
Automount maps have already been updated. If you are using the automount maps
to mount SWW or EESWW, you won’t need to make any changes on your side, but you may need to
remount/reboot to begin using the revised location. Statically-configured mounts
of SWW or EESWW will need to be updated.
The old SWW locations will continue to work until at least March 15th 2016. At that
time the old exports will be terminated.
