Installation of New NetApp File Storage

by

We are pleased to announce that we are moving to the next generation
of file storage in EECS.

Our current Network Appliance file storage hardware is approaching
its end of life, and our storage needs continue to grow.
Maintaining our own file storage systems has been valuable to research
and departmental operations, keeping costs down while providing centralized
storage with backups, snapshots, CIFS/NFS access, and room to grow.

Over the coming months, we will be migrating to a new cluster of NetApp
file servers, which will include disk-based backups and mirroring of current
data to the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Some changes to mounting and
some service downtime are expected, but details are still being worked out.
Look for upcoming announcements on how this migration might affect you
and your access to home.eecs, project.eecs and cluster.eecs.

We will be performing scheduled reboots of the Soda, Cory, and Sutardja Dai Hall aggregation routers this evening between 7 and 7:30 PM. Each building will incur a network interruption approximately five minutes long while the routers reboot.

These reboots are in order to further troubleshooting on a bug affecting SSH management access to the devices.

Campus recovering from major computing outage

by

EECS and the rest of campus is recovering from a major computing outage that started Friday evening around 6:15pm with a fire in the campus data center. Most critical services have been restored since about 1pm Saturday, Sep 19th. More information about the fire and its impact on campus IT systems can be found on the sites http://news.berkeley.edu/ and http://ucbsystems.org/

Most EECS / IRIS services are back to normal since around 1pm Saturday. Some servers may not have recovered and will need a reboot, and IRIS staff will be attending to those as they are discovered. You may report any remaining outages to the IRIS Helpdesk.
