    We have recently negotiated with FSU (Florida State University) to use
    their Computer Research Facility as a local DEC training facility.
    
    One of the first classes we'll be offering in April is ALL-IN-1 IOS
    V3.0.  They have a VAX 6210 right now, and I'll be installing the
    ALL-IN-1 on it.
    
    A few quick questions:
    
    1.)  Does the VAX 6210 have to be down to users during the install?
         If not, will they notice any degradation -- should I plan to
    	 install in on the weekend? :(
    
    2.)  What is the minimum/recommended memory configuration for IOS V3.0?
    
    3.)  Same as #2, but with regard to disk space?
    
    4.)  They are NOT running V2.4 and are scared because they've heard the
    	 "ALL-IN-1 resource hog" bit.  How can I reassure them?  Via tuning
    	 the system after installation?  
    
    
    THANKS -- This will be my first "unassisted" ALL-IN-1 installation.

45.1Some quick answers...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer&#039;s ApprenticeWed Feb 19 1992 20:1118
    1) Like all layered product installations, it's safer to throw everyone
    off the system whilst installing ALL-IN-1. So get a weekend free!
    
    2) You need to look in the performance info (Pointer in A1INFO I think)
    for this.
    
    3) See the installation Guide for the full story, which I'm sure
    you'll be reading before the installation anyway. It's about 100k
    blocks in *VERY* round numbers.
    
    4) What Gas mileage do you get from a Cadillac? I bet it's worse than
    a compact.... It depends on how much you use it. If it's badly set up
    and the system is badly set up, then it will use as much of the system
    resources as you'd expect from a *VERY* large application. Don't judge
    from the performance of the average internal system, which are mostly
    underconfigured and badly setup.
