Network outage Cory 4th floor on Sep 16

September 16, 2011 by Janet Shu

Currently power outlets in the 4th flr. restrooms are on a common electrical circuit with power in the 4th communications closet. Space and facilities team would like to shutdown the communications closet for about or less than 30 minutes to move these outlets onto a new circuit.

This will prevent outside areas from accidentally tripping the circuit feeding the communications closet. The network switches serving in the area of 4th floor will be affected by this move. Only users in 4th floor of Cory will be affected by this. Since wireless APs in 4th floor were fed by the switches in that closet, you may experience wireless outages if you are located in 4th floor area.

We have UPS and hopefully will be able to carry the load but you may experience some of intermittent wired and wireless conductivity issues for a short period of time.

If you have any concern, please send email to networks@eecs

Mailing List Messages Delayed, Sep 2

September 2, 2011 by Rob McNicholas

Beginning around midnight on September 2, our MySQL database server began refusing connections from lists.eecs.berkeley.edu. Since all subscription information is kept in the database, no mailing list messages could be delivered during that time. The database server was reset around 9:30am and all queued departmental email has been delivered at this time (10am). No email should have been lost.

Initial investigation points to the database server intentionally blocking connections due to too many simultaneous requests from lists.eecs. This investigation will continue and the database server will be tuned as needed to prevent a recurrence of this problem.
