The server hosting apps.eecs.berkeley,edu, wik.eecs.berkeley.edu and some other project websites[*] will be rebooted Friday, October 17th 2014 between 8am and 9am. Total downtime should be around 5 to 10 minutes.
This server is experiencing poor network performance. This reboot will be to reconfigure the virtual machine with a new network driver which has shown significantly better performance in our testing. Current bandwith to our NFS server is lmited to around 1.2 MB/s. In testing with the new driver, we are getting around 25 MB/s.
As usual, please send any questions or comments to the IRIS helpdesk at help@eecs.berkeley.edu.
