Potential Campus Power Outage

|

We have been alerted to possible PG&E power outages due to fire danger, and that campus power may be shutdown at some point over the next 2-3 days. If we receive notice of imminent shutdown, we will work to safely shutdown our NetApp fileserver and other critical infrastructure systems; this may occur on very short notice.

We will endeavor to update this News item as we receive any updates.

We recommend you proceed with shutting down any non-essential machines in advance, e.g. shutting down workstations at the end of the work day.

Mailing List Server maintenance, Wednesday, June 5, 5pm-7pm (rescheduled)

|

The EECS mailing list server lists.eecs.berkeley.edu will be down for maintenance beginning Wednesday, June 5th at 5pm. The Sympa mailing list software will be upgraded to resolve an issue that has been affecting some lists. (This bug causes updates to list owners or moderators to not take effect until the server is restarted.

The upgrade should take less than 1 hour, but we are allocating 2 hours in case of any problems that might occur. During this window, no messages will be accepted or distributed by lists.eecs.berkeley.edu. Incoming messages will be deferred until the server is back up; no messages should be lost.
