In all the time I've been doing this, I would never have dared ask for outages of this magnitude. The worst I ever was part of was a couple 12-14 hour unexpected weekend days when we didn't have fall back ready. I think that was also the time after VM and before we did a sandbox LPAR, so we did some standalone restores.
With the new ERP system they are moving us to, scheduled outages of this length are routine. :( but it's better than the working legacy :) Dave Gibney Information Technology Services Washington State University ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
