Updated Synopsys Licensing

by

The new licenses for Synopsys tools (such as Sentaurus WorkBench), effective September 25, 2014, are limited to working with new versions of the tools — generally those with a 2014 release date. You may need to update your PATH to include the newer versions.

The following package release versions are included in the current licensing. These are installed on Instructional systems, and most are available on the department’s /usr/eesww for machines that mount it.

For Synopsys licensing, please note that the license server has changed. See /usr/eesww/synopsys/README for details.

Intermittent network outage

by

We are seeing wireless and wired network disruption on the EECS networks, most noticeable on the wireless networks.

Campus reported an unscheduled network outage earlier this morning, still in progress (check http://ucbsystems.org/ for updates), but it’s as yet unclear whether this is related. Updates will be posted here as they are made available.

Packet Loss at EECS Network Border

by

We are seeing some dropped connections between the EECS network and the outside world (including the rest of campus). This is affecting communication in both directions.

You may experience symptoms such as webpages not loading, systems not responding to ping, and remote login sessions terminating unexpectedly.

Our network staff will work to identify the cause, and restore reliable networking.

Exchange front-end server OWA disk failure

by

We are rebuilding OWA after a disk failure. Exchange service through OWA (e.g. web access, or mobile client access) will be unavailable in the meantime.

Access via Outlook directly to FONTUS from machines on the EECS network may remain available, unless configured to access OWA using RPC-over-HTTP.

Email and URL forwarding for closed accounts

by

IRIS previously offered courtesy email forwarding and URL redirect service for
up to one year after the closure of an IRIS account. We are removing
the “one year” limitation now, so that you can expect forwarding to continue
into the forseeable future after your account is closed, unless you request
otherwise.

Many members of our community publish papers and collaborate with others, with
their @eecs.berkeley.edu or @cs.berkeley.edu email address
serving as their primary contact. This
step will ensure that working relationships can continue well after leaving
the Berkeley campus.

Please see our
FAQ for IRIS Account Closing page for more information.
