Dear Colleagues,
I’d like to inform you of some changes regarding the EECS servers:
Support staff:
Duncan Phillips has retired from UCI. The OIT professionals supporting our department are now Clint Anderson (cfanders@uci.edu) and Kyle Kurr (kkurr@uci.edu), both of whom report to Francisco Lopez.
Faculty should send support requests directly to eus@uci.edu, with cc to cfanders@uci.edu and to kkurr@uci.edu.
Students (both research and classes) should send support requests to oit@uci.edu. Please let your students know about these changes.
Backups/Licenses:
By next week all of our files on the EECS machines will have been migrated to a NetApp appliance. Also, all of the various software licenses have been moved to a virtual server. These changes should greatly enhance reliability of our data.
New servers:
The department has purchased two new Linux servers, named “bondi” and “laguna.” I’ll let you know once they are available for use. This will make a total of 5 Linux servers (zuma, crystalcove, ladera, bondi, laguna) and 1 Solaris (vivian).
The solaris machine will remain running through the end of the Fall quarter, after which it will be salvaged. This would be a good time to verify that all of the software that you need has versions that can run on Linux rather than Solaris.
A number of EECS faculty still have web pages running on the virtual newport.eecs.uci.edudomain. This will continue to be supported.
-Mike
