322.0. "Major cluster shutdowns/rebuilds." by HEWIE::RUSSELL (I should have got a Duracell!!) Wed Feb 21 1990 15:56
This note is giving advance warning of major cluster engineering works
that will take place over week-ends in March and April.
Two new 6000-420 processors are scheduled for delivery in early March.
After installation and shakedown, they will form the FUTURS cluster.
The CURRNT cluster will then be re-built as 1 x 6000-340 and 1 x 8700.
(One node will be removed).
The PASTIT cluster will then be re-built as 2 x 8700's.
ORFUL will end up as 2 x 8530's.
In this way, each cluster ends up with more CPU power than today.
The cluster moves will take place over week-ends. This means that 
there will be *no* ADG clusters available for some or all of the
weekends that the work is taking place on.
If you have a requirement for service over week-ends  during March or 
April, please mail me on Peter Russell @UCG (RUSSELLP) so that we
can take it into account when we work with I.S. and Field Service to
arrange this major undertaking.
Peter.
