Campus recovering from major computing outage

by

EECS and the rest of campus is recovering from a major computing outage that started Friday evening around 6:15pm with a fire in the campus data center. Most critical services have been restored since about 1pm Saturday, Sep 19th. More information about the fire and its impact on campus IT systems can be found on the sites http://news.berkeley.edu/ and http://ucbsystems.org/

Most EECS / IRIS services are back to normal since around 1pm Saturday. Some servers may not have recovered and will need a reboot, and IRIS staff will be attending to those as they are discovered. You may report any remaining outages to the IRIS Helpdesk.

Mailing List Server Maintenance, Wednesday 6-8pm

by

The Department’s mailing list server, lists.eecs.berkeley.edu, will be down for a major upgrade on Wednesday August 19th from 6pm-8pm. During this time the service will be migrated to a new machine and the [mailing list software](http://www.sympa.org/) will be upgraded from the current version (5.4.5) [to the latest version, 6.2.3](http://www.sympa.org/distribution/latest-stable/NEWS).

During the outage, no incoming or outgoing mail will be processed. There will likely be delays in delivering mail as sending machines will wait some amount of time before retrying, but no email should be lost.

Mailing list owners may want to [browse the documentation](http://www.sympa.org/manual/index) to learn about the new features.

If this time is particularly bad for your group, please let us know as soon as possible by email to help@eecs.
