470.0. "SBPEXE Unavailable due to VMS Upgrade" by NOSTRL::DAVIES (Close, but no banana.) Mon May 18 1992 11:59


Please be aware the I intend to upgrade SBPEXE to VMS V5.5 on Sunday 24th 
May 1992.

This means that it will be unavailable ALL day (from around 09:00 until 
17:30)

In the event of any problems arising I will attempt to rectify them on the 
Bavk Holiday Monday so as to avoid inconvenience.

If this is likely to cause you any problems then please contact me as soon 
as possible.

Regards,

470.1SBPEXE upgrade on Tuesday, June 16thCURRNT::RUSSELLHAL -> IBM; VMS -> Windows/NTSat Jun 13 1992 17:3925
    SBPEXE will be upgraded to VMS V5.5-1 on Tuesday, June 16th.
    The shadow system disk will be removed at 9:00 am on Tuesday,
    and the upgrade performed on this copy disk.
    
    The entire SBPEXE cluster and its workstations will be shut
    down at 6:00 pm, and rebooted using the upgraded disk.
    
    Any changes made to the system disk after 9:00 am will be lost.
    This includes any SYSUAF or Batch/Print changes.
    
    The cluster will be available for 9:00 am on Wednesday.
    
    There will be a performance degradation during the day, due to
    the missing shadow disk. This may be noticeable.
    
    When the cluster is rebooted, SBPEXE will be a VAX 8700, connected
    via the CI. This means that if SBPEXE dies, we will be able to replace
    it with another system much more easily.
    
    This upgrade is being performed to preapre for the the VAX 6000-610 and
    Vaxstation 4000-VLC installations.
    
    Please contact Peter Russell or Keith Davies if you have any
    questions with the above.
