There was a CIFS failure with Coeus and Project domains earlier today, preventing people from accessing their home directories. Some may have interpreted this as a network problem. These issues appear to have been resolved now.

We just had a software failure on the EECS core router for Cory Hall. I had to fail it over to the back-up management module. The Cory Hall (and BWRC) networks were down for a couple of minutes. I regret the inconvenience this may have caused. We are investigating this with the router vendor.

The EESWW server, cad.eecs, provides /usr/eesww fileservice to Unix/Linux machines (primarily Solaris machines) throughout the department. EESWW includes tools such as cadence and hspice.

cad.eecs will be offline for maintenance on Thursday, Nov 2nd, from about 9am until noon. We will be replacing a failing disk, and upgrading the operating system.

On Oct 31st from 07:00-07:30AM, the following EECS wireless network services will be down for maintenance:

Users may need to re-authenticate to these wireless networks.

The purpose of the maintenance is to install a new authentication server for these WLANs.

A new feature for the EECS-11a WLAN is that users will now be able to authenticate with either their LDAP password or their Windows password.

All other wireless services will not be affected.

On Wed Oct. 25, 2006, we will reboot a switch. There may be brief network interruption from 5:00PM to 5:30PM.

We regret any inconvenience this may cause. Please make your plans accordingly.
