Re: [foxboro] Convert a Foxboro P91 Server from a P91 Dell Power Edge 2800 to a new Dell Power Edge 2900

Thanks Tom, for this extensive procedure you just wrote. 

But when is the penny going to drop at FoxboroHQ(IPS), that Windoze is
not the right platform in a Process Control Environment?!?!?
Turning over the hardware every other year is just not acceptable.

Well, that's my penny worth.
Mind you a truly P&P Foxboro system sounds somewhat attractive.


Cheers,

List,

      Duc has told me "I talk too much" and David Johnson once called
me "a prolific keyboard pounder".  They are probably both correct
because here is my latest book.  My mom always called me "Doubting
Thomas" because I wouldn't believe anything unless I could see it
myself.  We tried some stuff that everyone told me wouldn't work and
now I believe them and understand better why they won't work.  The
Symantec 8.5 "Restore Anywhere" sounded good on paper and did let us
restore but there were too many hardware specific issues to deal with.
 It might work if everything was completely Plug and Play.  How about
it Foxboro, can you do it all "Plug and Play"?
