ECE Storage Migration (Aug 15 and Aug 22, 2015)
ECE IT will be performing a series of data migrations this August to move data from the Klinck Data Centre to the new University Data Centre. Various ECE services may be unavailable during each of the two outage windows. Users are requested to logout from all sessions before each outage. Workstations may need to be rebooted afterwards.
Change to access to IEEExplore from off-campus
Please be aware that the Library no longer provides access to IEEExplore through myVPN. Off-campus users should now use EZproxy instead: https://login.ezproxy.library.ubc.ca/login?qurl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.library.ubc.ca http://ezproxy.library.ubc.ca/login?url=http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/Xplore/DynWel.jsp Please note that access through EZproxy is available only to current UBC students, staff, and faculty.
SSH server upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04
The ssh-linux servers are scheduled to be replaced. Most users should not experience any disruption. You can help test the new server and report any problems.
Network Switch Upgrades (July 2-3, 2015)
In order to upgrade two network switches, there will be a network disruption on Thursday July 2 and Friday July 3, between 5:30am and 7:30 am on each day. Many ECE websites will be unavailable, and network connectivity in the ECE and wireless networks will likely be interrupted.
ECE Network Storage Outage- Resolved (June 1, 2015)
The ECE network storage system housing home directories and group data experienced an outage starting late last night. Network storage connectivity has been restored. End-points using NFS to mount network storage should reboot their systems to ensure stable access to storage. Please click above for more information.
