Extreme Slowness for some EECS Services

September 11, 2019 by Lars Rohrbach

Our VMWare infrastructure is undergoing a RAID reconstruction, and a number of EECS services are being impacted by this, resulting in such slowness that some services are inaccessible.

Impacted servers and services may include:

winterm.eecs
repo.eecs
http://cusg.eecs.berkeley.edu
gateway.eecs

We apologize for the interruption of service, and are working to restore all services to normal levels.

Fileserver maintenance 10apr18

April 10, 2018 by Pathma Venasithamby

This should be mainly non disruptive, but be forewarned in case of mount issues.

Any CIFs shares will experience a disconnect but upon reconnect it should reconnect to the the other HA node. If someone is doing a copy over a share they will have to restart that.

Fileserver maintenance 30th Jan

January 30, 2018 by Pathma Venasithamby

Due to the power failures on 20th Dec, the department fileservice has suffered some damage, and there is a non functional management interface. This needs to be repaired or replaced. This should *not* be disruptive to users, as per Netapp. But it does involves reseating or replacing a motherboard on one of the nodes, so please be forewarned that one of the clusters will not be running in HA mode during the replacement.

Repo down for maintenance, March 2, 7am-9am

March 2, 2017 by IRIS Staff

[Repo.eecs](http://repo.eecs.berkeley.edu) service will be down for maintenance on March 2nd, from 7 am to 9am.

The previous attempt to update the OS was not successful and the system was reverted back to original state. There were numerous problems which caused both OS and webUI application not to work properly.

After thorough investigation, all problematic files have been identified and made ready for clean upgrade.

LDAP issue affected IRIS website and other services

January 20, 2017 by Rob McNicholas

A network problem with one of our LDAP load balancers caused some intermittent problems with some Departmental services. This probably started overnight when a server was patched and restarted. This morning we had reports of intermittent problems with Repo, and the IRIS roster and network applications on iris.eecs. The problem has been identified and resolved for now. Around 12:10pm we had to restart the server that hosts the iris.eecs website and the Department jabber server, but all services are operational again at this time.

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.
