Every half year we do clusternode maintenance, with at least a package ugprade and a reboot, but sometimes other maintenance can happen, such as changes in filesystems or network configurations. The upcoming date for this maintenance is February 6th, 2026 (Friday)

Tuesday morning around half past nine, there was a short power dip for RU/UMCN, probably due to a switch error at Liander. This power dip, that is not listed on the power interruption website, made all systems restart that were not on UPS power. Because only the network switches in Huygens wing 1 and 7 are on UPS power, a lot of users lost their connection to the network, including wireless and IP-telephony, for about 20 minutes.

The ISC let us know that after the installation of patches installed in BASS during the weekend of December 1, the possibility to use a recent version of Java (version 7) had erroneously disappeared. As of February 11, 2014 this issue has been resolved. The function in BASS to work with all versions of Java SE (JRE) on the client (PC) has been reactivated.

Yesterday afternoon around 14:30 the ISC conducted a seemingly innocent maintenance on the LDAP-server, but immediately after that auth-requests from Radius were no longer serviced. This made it impossible for wireless users to authenticate with their u/s/e number. Users in the realm @science.ru.nl were not affected by this.
Tuesday morning around 11 o’clock, there was a short power dip for RU/UMCN. This power dip, that is not listed on the power interruption website, made all systems restart that were not on emergency power. Because only the network switches in Huygens wing 1 and 7 are on emergency power, a lot of users lost their connection to the network, including wireless and IP-telephony, for about 5 minutes.

A department reported that a departmental printer did not survive the power dip. ...
