EECS Full Network and Service Outage, Thurs. 12/22/16 7:30AM

December 22, 2016 by Derek Calderon

We will have a full system shutdown on Thursday, December 22nd at 7:30 AM to perform necessary fire and emergency power testing in our server rooms. The entire EECS network and all hosted resources will be offline during this maintenance.

This will affect networking in the following locations:

Wired and wireless networks offline:
* Soda Hall
* Cory Hall
* Sutardja Dai Hall
* Jacobs Hall
* BWRC

Wireless networks offline, wired remains online:
* Blum Hall
* Calvin Lab

Hosted resources such as the EECS website, file servers, etc. will be offline and globally inaccessible.

The facilities maintenance window is scheduled from 7:30 AM to 1 PM, but we anticipate the network and critical services should be back by 11AM if all goes well.

The intent is to perform these tests annually going forward; however we will learn from this year’s procedure and aim to keep more critical services online in the future.

If you have any questions about this maintenance, please contact help@eecs.berkeley.edu.
