May 2019 Linux Server Patching

May 13, 2019 by Rob McNicholas

A few IRIS services will experience brief outages May 15, 2019 between 6pm and 7pm while systems are restarted following patching.

Routine Red Hat Linux operating system patches have been released which require system reboots. Starting at 6pm Wednesday, May 15th, IDSG will be patching and rebooting affected servers. The following services will experience brief outages of 10 minutes or less between 6pm and 7pm.

  • Department mailing list services (lists.eecs.berkeley.edu)
  • Department ftp server (ftp.eecs / ftp.cs.berkeley.edu)
  • Department jabber/xmpp service (jabber.eecs.berkeley.edu)
  • IRIS Roster/Network applications (iris2.eecs.berkeley.edu)

UPDATE

[2019-05-15 6:30pm | Rob McNicholas]

lists.eecs.berkeley.edu has encountered an error after patching and remains down. Staff are working to resolve the problem.


UPDATE

[2019-05-15 8:30pm | Rob McNicholas]

lists.eecs.berkeley.edu is back in operation. Due to the extended downtime, some mail delivery will be delayed, but all mail will be eventually delivered.
