Depends. Those are closed/frozen environments, usually in process control while Jan's environment is dynamic multi-user.

@Willem,

I know the railway of Ireland is still running VMS 3.x and is booted in 1982. Last year they were still running, now I don't know. But with the knowledge this system isn't cluster capable since VMS clustering wasn't invented yet. So last year this system was running 23 years. Yes, the manager mentioned a few years ago 'We don't bring it down because probably this system will not be booting again'. The harddisk etc. are even from that time and these aren't so smart while powering off. But anyway, the hardware of these time was relayeble. Better as most of the hardware nowedays. Most harddisks don't last more then 5 years. But I think this is food for another tread.

Peeking in from the MC/SG, not even TruCluster corner, I can just say this merely unbelievable for us.

Pity one won't get anywhere showing this to management :(

Congrats anyway.

Jan,

Are you celebrating with a 'bunny' and a "bass drum" along with the cake? Congrats on another year!! Can't wait to hear about the next 2 years!!!

Please make sure management knows this when they consider alternatives.

The cost of downtime is often very measurable.

We do look for footprints on prior versions.
Prior version support generally means no new bugs will be sent to engineering. HP will help customers with all versions.

Just as we retain patch trees for prior versions and will do best efforts.

I don't know how the last one got here.
I was responding to another call. Sorry.
