We have been informed by facilities of the need for a shutdown of all Soda Hall electrical systems on Monday, September 8th, at 7PM. We do not have a clear idea of the duration, but 1-2 hours appears to be a reasonable estimate.
Soda Hall will be completely without power beginning at 7PM. Please shut down your systems before 7PM on Monday to avoid any issues. This includes all systems in the Soda 340 server room.
We expect all IRIS services to remain available, due to a combination of battery backups and redundant servers in other buildings.
BWRC networks will be offline during this shutdown, as they are dependent on Soda Hall.
Please contact us at help@eecs.berkeley.edu if you have any questions.
Update: This work has been rescheduled, and the text above has been updated with the current schedule.
