Due to the continued networking and hardware problems on PRINT, a new windows print server, PRINT2, is in the process of being built. I expect the server to be on line tomorrow.

To smooth this transition, PRINT2 will immediately begin service for queues that have been experiencing sever outages on PRINT. More announcements will be posted as the transition from PRINT to PRINT2 continues. Thank you for your patience.

While the Windows Print Server PRINT is back up and functioning, many of you are still experiencing problems printing. We are working to resolve these issues as fast as we can. Please report any problem to idsg@eecs.

Thank you.

The work on the PRINT Server has successfully been completed. The PRINT server is back on line.

Thank you for your patience.

IDSG is continuing to troubleshoot the problems with PRINT. While the server has been up for a few hours now, we suspect a hardware problem is growing. IDSG will be taking PRINT down today from 12 – 1 for a hardware upgrade.

Thank you for your patience.

sww experienced a hardware problem which has been temporarily fixed.

This afternoon, WINSWW (winsww.eecs.berkeley.edu), the windows software warehouse, sustained multiple disk failures causing it to become unavailable. IDSG is working to restore the failed volume, but we regret that it will be down for at least the next 24 hours (until 09/15/2005, 5:00pm) while it is being worked on.

Consequently, the Windows “Add/Remove Programs” feature, which allows you to install software over the network from WINSWW, will be unavailable until WINSWW is restored to service.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The main EECS print server, print.eecs.berkeley.edu, is down as of Wed, 09/14/05, 8:00am. There is no ETA as to when it will be back up, although IDSG staff are working on this problem. Access to all printers thru \\print is currently unavailable. We believe this is related to all the issues we have seen with print service since last Friday. We will post any updates as soon as we have them.

Thank you for your patience.
