Jabber server downtime Thursday 3/27 9pm

by

The department’s jabber server (jabber.eecs.berkeley.edu) will be down for maintenance Thursday March 27th beginning at 9pm. It should be back up no later than 10pm.

During this outage the operating system will be patched and the Openfire XMPP server will be upgraded to [version 3.9.1](http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/changelog.html) from the current version of 3.8.2. More disk space will also be added to this virtual machine, and the SSL certificate for jabber.eecs will be modified to try to work around a bug in iChat. These extra tasks will likely stretch out the downtime to close to one hour.

Research Network unable to reach outside of EECS

by

At around 4:00PM today, the “Millennium” Research Network became unreachable from outside of the EECS Department.

While resources within the EECS Department remain acccessible, systems will be unable to get outside of the department.

It is not clear at this time how this might be related to problems occurring with the larger Departmental EECS Network that started occurring in the same time frame.

Research staff are working with EECS networking staff to bring networking back up and will post updates as they happen.
