Yes, this means the OpenVMS cluster uptime has reached seven years today, at 9:35 GMT.

May 5, at the ENSA/Interex Symposium in Muenchen, Anton van Ruitenbeek and myself will be presenting it as a case study.
Consider sourselves invited!!

Jan,
Thats a great achievement and congrats to yourself and all your other team members.

I have had the privilege to be associated with managing a 2 node CI cluster, which had a cluster uptime of 3 yrs, but unfortunately due to business reasons, the cluster had to be shutdown as the legacy applications were migrated out to other platforms.

Jan,

Congratulations to you and your team on a tremendous achievement. 7 years is a helluva long time. In addition to presenting at the conference in Munich, you should also try and get to HPWorld in Chicago this year. The Encompass Group, formerly DECUS, is jointly preparing the conference agenda again this year.

Your success story is one that really needs to be told!

Hello,

considering this has to do somewhat with business continuity, I also posted here, mainly for interested non-VMS people.
Those interested in more info I'd like to point to the thread with the same name in the OpenVMS forum, because that's where the discussions got going.

Keith being the one who pushed us into presenting in Madrid (now relocated to Muenchen), and convinced the organisation to have us, he is the one deserving max points!

Hello, moderator.

If THIS is not considered "Business Continuity", then what is??

This stream was specifically entered there, because WE consider it to belong there.
The VMS-specific details of course can then be found in the VMS stream, but

PLEASE,

move THIS stream back to "Business Continuity"?

Thanks,

Jan

Aha, I have already wondered why there is another thread, but I just thought you were so enthusiatic that you wanted to make sure nobody missed it ;-)

Right so - your achievement is really outstanding. Never mind.

Congratulations Jan!!

To the moderator:

It seems that some peope@HP consider "We Know what's good for you, you'd better not ask why we changed things." a normal practice. Given the DNSLink and patch-area problems (drill down the OpenVMS forum) it's a bit sad to see this seems to be the truth.
IMHO these people have the "Apple approach". Could be a wise thing towards the majority of ordinary users, but for us, the professionals, I consider this insulting.

Unless a message's contents is clearly insulting, or ther have been requests to move messages (first by the poster, second by forum users), you ought to leave them where they are posted.
ANY double posting - as this thread is - has been cross-posted by a purpose. So I agree with the original poster: MOVE IT BACK.
