The EECS IT Staff will be performing hardware and software updates on a number of departmental servers on Monday, January 9, 2023. All day, IT services provided by the EECS department will see extended periods of unavailability.

Affected services include but are not limited to:  

• NFS (server) file access such as Linux home directories, research and storage areas, VLSI software, etc.
• Access to Linux storage via Windows file sharing (“L: Drive”)
• Log-in to EECS Linux systems including labs and EECS IT-managed research servers

Services that should not be affected include:

The EECS IT Staff requests that you save or checkpoint your work and log off from any EECS Linux systems. Client systems may require reboots after the downtime has concluded.
