Extreme Slowness for some EECS Services

by

Our VMWare infrastructure is undergoing a RAID reconstruction, and a number of EECS services are being impacted by this, resulting in such slowness that some services are inaccessible.

Impacted servers and services may include:

  • winterm.eecs
  • repo.eecs
  • http://cusg.eecs.berkeley.edu
  • gateway.eecs

We apologize for the interruption of service, and are working to restore all services to normal levels.
