EECS Recovering from Campus Power Failure

by

After the [campus-wide power failure](http://www.dailycal.org/2013/09/30/campus-wide-power-outage-disrupts-classes-early-monday-evening/) of 9/30, most IT services in EECS have been restored. IRIS-managed networks (wired and wireless), email, mailing lists, file service and web services have all recovered.

At this time (9:35am) power has just been restored to 165 Cory and staff are bringing equipment back up. If you manage equipment in 165 Cory, this would be a good time to check on it.

At this time we do not have any information on whether any EECS classes might be canceled. We will post updates to this article as more information becomes available.

Mailing List Server maintenance, Sunday 9/29 6pm

by

The department’s mailing list server, lists.eecs.berkeley.edu, will be down for maintenance beginning Sunday, September 29th at 6pm. It should be back in service no later than 6:30pm, probably sooner.

During this time, the web interface at https://lists.eecs.berkeley.edu will be unavailable. Any mail sent to a list during this time will be accepted by the server but not distributed until the maintenance is complete.

During this maintenance window the back-end database for the mailing list software will be migrated to a new server, now hosted in the IST Warren Hall data center. This is part of the scheduled retirement of our current database server and migration to more modern equipment.

Please direct any questions to the IRIS helpdesk at help@eecs.berkeley.edu.
