Russ. The difference is that Foxboro maintained a supply of older UNIX boxes for a long time. You could also find used UNIX boxes on the Internet for spares even longer. Sales of Dell boxes changes every year (just like the car industry). You can't buy last year's Dell box from Foxboro, Dell, or Internet vendors. Moral to this story; buy a ton of spare P91/P92s at the time you install your MESH or get used to Day0s. (OK, maybe this is a credo instead of moral) Jack Easley Sr. I&C Technician Luminant Power, Martin Lake Plant Phone 903.836.6241 jack.easley@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Boulay, Russ Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 7:20 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] Upgrading Foxboro AW from P91, (Dell 2800), to P91, (Dell 2900), 2003 Server Damn Blackberry fonts...I guess Kevin has a winding translator..as he could read it. What I meant to say... Duc. Not any differnt than Solaris. Can't take a backup of a 51D and load it on a 51F either. Same pain. The Dell 2800 to a Dell 2900 is a similar comparison. Enough drastic differences to cause recovery issues. -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Duc M Do Sent: Monday, February 09, 2009 10:48 PM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] Upgrading Foxboro AW from P91, (Dell 2800), to P91, (Dell 2900), 2003 Server On Mon, February 9, 2009 9:24 pm, Boulay, Russ wrote: > Tom, > > In the case stated below, you will have to feel the pain. In no other instance that a figure of speech has such a literal interpretation. I can almost hear the faint echo of a diabolical cackle. Tom, welcome to the Foxboro Chamber of Pain.
