Dept NetApp Filer Maintenance, 3pm January 3, 2022

December 21, 2021 by Lars Rohrbach

We will be performing an OS upgrade on our departmental NetApp filers (upgrading from OnTAP version 9.7 to 9.8), which will require a service outage from 3pm to 9pm on Monday, January 3, 2022. All NFS and CIFS access to the filer (home and project storage) will be down during that time. Services (e.g. webservice) that depend on this storage will also be down or unresponsive.

While we are scheduling a 6 hour maintenance window, we will attempt to minimize the service outage if possible.

When maintenance is completed, NFS clients should automatically resume normal operation. CIFS clients (such as Windows and MacOS) may need to remount filesystems, or simply be rebooted.

Campus recovering from major computing outage

September 18, 2015 by Rob McNicholas

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.

Miscellaneous services affected by project space outage

June 18, 2012 by Rob McNicholas

Last night’s outage of project.eecs caused a few other services to misbehave this morning. We believe all services are functioning as of around 11am.

An automatic process that generated configuration files for our DHCP server was generating truncated files, causing DHCP service to be out for some clients. That was resolved around 9:15am.

The server iris.eecs had some email stuck in its queue related to recent laptop purchase requests. Fixing that required a reboot of the server, and iris.eecs was down from around 10:30am until around 10:50am.

The ACG application server buffy.eecs apparently hung last night due to the project.eecs outage. It was rebooted this morning around 9am.

Web, Mailing List, Jabber outage May 9th, 6am

May 9, 2012 by Rob McNicholas

Due to a major reorganization in the IRIS Data Center, numerous IRIS services will be unavailable 6am-8am, Wednesday May 9.

The servers that support the department’s website, the IRIS website, jabber, ACG applications, the print spooler, the Windows Terminal Server, and the department’s mailing lists will all be physically moved to new locations. Extensive prep work has been done to minimize downtime to the absolute minimum, and we hope that most services will be up sooner, but we are allotting 2 hours for this work.

UPS Installation/Various System Outages

March 21, 2011 by IRIS Staff

Delivery is expected Monday for our new UPS which will be installed in the 290 Soda Hall server room. Some services will be down for short periods on Tuesday while they are moved off of room power and onto temporary power. Later in the week, there will be a second outage while those machines are moved onto the new UPS. Additionally, there may be a longer outage of our storage systems while some upgrades are done.

While I realize that this post is somewhat vague, a lot depends on exactly when the UPS is delivered and how long it takes to install it. I will be posting more refined notes to narrow down the scope of what services will be out (and when) as time goes on.

While we realize that there may be some inconveniences for some, please bear with us as we strive update our services and minimize outages for the future
