Re: Happy birthday, cluster!
Hope some day someone from HP marketing will use your story like Bojan.
In vino veritas, in VMS cluster!!!

Re: Happy birthday, cluster!
I'm counting down another 6 weeks to be able to report 3 yrs. uptime on a VAX4000-100 (which regrettably will have its final power down in 3 months time - to be replaced by the W...-stuff).
Can't wait to announce the 3 yrs. uptime to all my other collegues (I'm the only VMS guy left; outnumbered 10 to 1)

Real clustering is a wonderful thing.

Re: Happy birthday, cluster!
This is a very impressive system management archivement.
IIRC the cluster has been relocated and all the hardware replaced.

Re: Happy birthday, cluster!
Congratulations from NYC!
All too few people remember that it is meeting the availability requirements on a continuous basis that counts, not how much emergency work has to be done.
Nine years to continuous availability of an integrated system, across version changes, technology changes, and location changes is an achievement that no other OS can meet.

Re: Happy birthday, cluster!
I mean, VMS must be one of those antiquated legacy systems, with tubes that heat up, addresses we walk to, switches to set, and wires?
More similar to a weaving machine than some kind of modern contraption?

Re: Happy birthday, cluster!
Nine years is a great feat! Of course we all have come to expect this kind of performance from OpenVMS.
Should we start planning for the cluster's 10th birthday yet? That event will be a true milestone!

Re: Happy birthday, cluster!
like John said, there can, and have been, "some" changes... the oldest piece of hardware (including screws, wires, anything you can hold, or drop) dates from 2000 or later. EVERYTHING has been replaced at least once.
It is all about continuously providing desired services that counts (at least for us), and the results for THAT vary somewhat per application, but the better designed ( = designed on & for VMS ) applications have (nearly) perfect scores, with one at only some 10 minutes less than the cluster itself.
For those that do not yet know our cluster (or like to revisit :-)

Some recent devellopment: although it still RUNS most backoffice apps for the Regio Politie Amsterdam-Amstelland, it has now been outsources to a newly-created, countrywide Service Organisation.
They are consolidating several regio's into above-regional service areas, and it is by no means certain that (or for how long) this cluster can continue.
But, we have been saying that also for several years now. We will just have to wait and see...
Proost.
Have one on me (maybe in May in Nashua?).
