New ITRC Forums Categories Created!

[paul courry]

I would encourage all Compaq progessionals to give the ITRC forums a shot!

If you look at the HPUX forum there are 1200+ pages of questions and answers. It is an excellent place to go to get answers about Unix.

The new Compaq forums will be what you make of them. Invest.

Hey Dan,

Love the forums.

If HP is planning on nuking True64 and putting the best features like fs into HP-UX and....

Planning HP-UX for Intel it sounds like True64 is a dead end forum.

Yes, plenty of users now, and maybe they need support but...

I seem to be having trouble completing my thoughts.

Good work.

I disagree!

I would think that a Tru64 forum is a great way for HP-ux users to learn about current TRU64 features that will be part of their own OS in the future. These features would include Advfs and TruCluster.

As a current Tru64 sys admin and a possible future HP-ux admin, I believe a Tru64 forum could benefit all members!

[Ian Lochray]

I agree with Gregory. HP have committed to keeping Tru64 UNIX alive for a few years yet.

Steven, Gregory and Ian,

Thanks for the thoughts...will let you know the outcome soon.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan

I know the idea of Tru-64 forum is being considered, but I would just like to add another vote in favour. Being an admin of both unixes, I seriously wish I had an tru-64 equivalent of the hpux forums.

Cheers
Keely

Hi Dan,

Like Keely, I also support both TRU64 and HP-UX servers and would very much appreciate a TRU64 forum.

Whenever I have an issue with HP-UX that I can't resolve on my own, I visit the ITRC HP-UX forums first. I usually find my answers with a quick search and have always received multiple answers within minutes of posting a message.

For TRU64, I have to search the sysadmin archives which is slow and often outdated.

As we continue on the road to migration from TRU64 to HP-UX I believe a TRU64 forum will prove to be a valuable resource.

Thanks!

Dan,

Has there been any further discussion about adding the Tru64 Unix category to the forums?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Gregory,

Still working on getting approval and support. Progress has been made. Sorry for the delay, but please hang in there.

Thanks,
Dan

Let me second the motion that you start a Tru64 discussion area. We have 10 GS160's, and 3 sysadmins. I think they'd like the opportunity to participate.
