Re: [foxboro] I/A v 8 with Solaris 10

Andreas.....

ATS's are not replacements for NCNI's..in most cases...NCNI's stay in
place.
ATS's tie Mesh to either an existing single node system...or multimode
systems. In multimode systems they take the place of Lan modules. There
are several users now that have migrated 14+ node systems to ATS without
the reboot of their control stations.

In Kevin's example, he chose a multi "segment" single node of NCNI's.
The migration to Mesh in his example....now replaced the NCNI's with
ATS's which now made it a multi "node" system, and those segments had to
be isolated from each other. This would lead to control station reboot
because it was decided to make multi nodes out of a single node system.=20
 If Kevin had chosen to just simply leave the NCNI's in place and add an
ATS to his current single node, no reboot would be required.
The only reason to change that topology would be if 64 station limit per
would be exceeded by adding the ATS.

With the ATS you will NOT have to reboot your existing control stations
if the existing topology stays in place.

There have been many users now with that have migrated major multi node
systems without reboot of any control stations.

Andreas,

I/A version 8.x is I/A on the mesh.

You will be able to use your AW51Gs by upgrading (paid upgrade) to=20
Solaris 10 and 8.x, but they are for use on the mesh network.  You may=20
be able to use switches from a 7.x network for version 8.  NCNIs will=20
need to upgrade to ATS.

We currently have two major plant areas with V6.5.1 on the nodebus, V7.1

switched network linking nodebus segments together, and V8.1 connecting=20
the two plant areas.

One big downside in moving from NCNIs to ATS is that all control=20
stations in all but one network segment need to reboot to be=20
re-addressed, going back to CLAN style NSAP addresses.

Regards,

Kevin
