We are aware that all IRIS services are currently down. More information will be forthcoming as it becomes available.
Ongoing
Any ongoing service-related issues are listed in this category.
login.eecs offline
Our unix login server, login.eecs, is temporarily offline. We will be building a new virtual machine to replace it, and hope to have it in service by tomorrow.
Update to nameservers, NTP servers
We have maintained our own recursive nameservers within EECS for many years, enabling client machines to resolve hostnames to IP addresses. These servers also functioned as local NTP (time) servers. In the spirit of simplification, we are retiring these machines and will be utilizing campus servers for these services.
Effective immediately, we are updating our DHCP configuration, to point clients instead to campus nameservers ns1.berkeley.edu (128.32.136.9 and 128.32.206.9) and ns2.berkeley.edu (128.32.136.12 and 128.32.206.12). We are similarly updating the setting for NTP servers, pointing to campus NTP servers ntp1.net.berkeley.edu and ntp2.net.berkeley.edu.
Most machines in EECS are DHCP clients, and will pick up these changes automatically.
If you have statically configured nameservers or NTP servers on your systems, please update your configuration as soon as possible.
CIFS shares from Project/Home unavailable
Windows and MacOS systems use CIFS shares on our NetApp fileservers for home directories and project space. With the sunsetting of our EECS Active Directory, we are in the process of migrating our NetApp to the Campus Active Directory. In that process, we’ve run into some unexpected issues, and are working with campus IT staff to resolve them.
At this time, CIFS shares remain unavailable.
NFS shares, as typically used by Linux/Unix systems in EECS, are not affected.
We apologize for the service interruption. We will continue working with campus staff to restore CIFS service as soon as possible.
