As part of our network upgrade plan, we will be moving some switch up link fibers on Monday and Tuesday mornings from 06:30-07:30. There will be some brief outages to several Soda Hall nets during this time. I am expecting that these outages should last less than 60 sec. each. We appreciate your understanding.

Microsoft will release their patches for the month on Tuesday, June 12th.

HERMES, PRINT, RIS and WINSWW will be down for patching Wednesday,
June 13th, from 3:00p¿5:00p.

macserver.eecs.berkeley.edu, which hosts the Mac software warehouse,
will be down for maintenance at this time as well.

We had a brief network outage this afternoon, from about 12:05-1:15 pm. A clerical error occurred in preparation for switching to the new network core hardware. This caused a VLAN to appear in the network core where it should not have been. This was the cause of the outage. My apologies.

Matlab R2007a is now available on macsww for both PPC- and Intel- based Macs. Refer to IRIS’s Mac documentation for information about connecting to macsww.

On Wednesday, May 9 from 5:00p.m. to 6:00p.m. the IRIS website, Sympa mailing lists and the Jabber service will be unavailable as the machines hosting these services need to have some patches applied to their operating systems.

IDSG is sorry for the short notice, this reboot is to address the slow IMAP performance.

We will be doing battery maintenance for the Network Com Center in Soda Hall
tomorrow (Wednesday) at 11:00 AM. This should not cause any network
interruptions. This is just a precautionary message.

Between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM on Wednesday the 25th, we will be upgrading the EECS wireless network code on Wednesday with a more recent version of code with one important security patch. This will affect all EECS WLANs (including EECS AirBears). It will NOT affect the outdoor mesh wireless network. We have tested this code for some time so I don’t anticipate any problems.

The server macserver.eecs.berkeley.edu will be patched and rebooted today at 3:30,
please do not be alarmed if it is temporarily inaccessible.
