Unexpected Power Outage at Campus Datacenter
A test of temporary generator power at the campus Data Center didn’t go well, and the Data Center was shut down at about 11am this morning. This affects a number of IRIS services, such as lists.eecs (mailing lists) and IRIS apps (account and system registration requests), and is also having an impact on wifi authentication.
