Staff are investigating why this occurred and how to prevent it from happening again.

The EECS Department website, FTP server, Windows Terminal Server (winterm), the IRIS website, Jabber, and Sympa (mailing list) services will all experience brief periods of unavailability beginning at 7:00am on Wednesday, February 25, 2009, possibly lasting until 8:00am.
The servers hosting these services will be changing IP addresses during this time as their current subnet (128.32.139.0/24) is being repurposed. DNS will be updated at 7:00am as well, so you shouldn’t need to make any changes to client applications unless you’ve been accessing any of these services directly by their IP rather than by their DNS name.

The EECS website, EECS FTP server, Sympa mailing-lists and Jabber (IM) service will all experience brief outages on Thursday, Dec 18, 2008 beginning at 10:00p.m. due to system maintenance.
These services won’t all be offline simultaneously, but each will experience a brief (less than 5 minutes) outage while the server hosting it is rebooted to apply operating system patches.

Due to some urgent maintenance to the SAN, the EECS Website, EECS FTP server, Jabber, and Sympa (mailing lists) services will be offline from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23, 2008.
The servers hosting the aforementioned services lack redundant connections to the SAN which prevents them from remaining in service during the maintenance. We realize this is an unfortunate limitation and are procuring new hardware which will add the redundancy necessary to handle similar situations more gracefully in the future.
Our apologies for the short-notice and inconvenience.

Attention System Administrators,
On Wednesday, August 20th from 6am-8am, IDSG will be migrating production file service of home directories and project space to the new NetApp filers. There will be downtime during this migration that will impact the majority of users in the department. Please evaluate the impact for your users and notify them of those details. A much shorter public announcement will be going out soon to the entire EECS community indicating that local System Administrators will be letting them know of any specific information as to how it will impact their work.
The following services will be affected:
– coeus
– project
– sww (not winsww)
– argus
– www.eecs and www.cs web servers
– the IRIS website
The following changes apply:
1. COEUS
– coeus.EECS.Berkeley.EDU will be replaced by home.EECS.Berkeley.EDU.
– NFS access will change from coeus:/vol/vol0/eecs/username to home:/eecs/username
– The amd and automaps will be appropriately changed.
– CIFS access will change from \\\\\\COEUS\HOME\username to
\\\\\\HOME\username
– The old hostname coeus will be a CNAME to home.EECS.Berkeley.EDU until September 20th.
2. PROJECT
– NFS access will change from project:/vol/vol[02]/projspace to project:/proj/projspace
**NOTE**: A few mount points will change in a different way. See the end of this announcement for details.
**NOTE2**: If your project spaces are merged, the details will be worked out with you directly outside of this announcement.
– The amd and automaps will be appropriately changed.
– CIFS share names will not be affected.
This announcement may be followed by additional updates if additional technical details need to be publicized. Certain requests may be delayed beyond the normal response time (e.g. amd/automap change requests, new user creation, project space creation, etc.) during the 2 weeks prior to the migration.
The downtimes for different services will be different. There will be one or more additional announcements as services get restored to allow early access to the appropriate systems. E.g. the actual downtime for coeus/home is expected to be only a few minutes.
This list will receive notice when access is restored.
Sysadmins should be ready to reboot systems that need to remount filesystems between 7:30 and 8 AM. CIFS access should resume during that time as well. The CIFS share names will not change and therefore should not require a reboot for those systems.
Be advised that there are a number of follow-up tasks after the outage, which could result in slow response from these systems.
If you experience problems during or after the outage, or have
additional questions – please contact Helpdesk at help@eecs or 2-7777 or 395 Cory.

The CalAgenda will be down this coming Monday night, April 7, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m. This outage is necessary to fix the system’s slow response time.
The cause of the recent CalAgenda slowness has been found to be congested access to their disk storage. The CalAgenda Tech Support team hope to cure that this Monday by switching to new disk storage with uncongested access.
