This is not a space-time continuum, it's a friggin' sieve and this thread
proves it. In 2011, we are arguing about the merits of FORTRAN over COBOL?
You cannot be serious?
Unless it's written in Visual Object Oriented FORTRAN 2007, and you have the
WATOHSEVEN compiler, I don't even want to hear about it.

Hi Mark,
You may want to check the PDC firmware level. I believe the fiber patches
found in 43.43 for the N class are in 43.50 for the A. Anyone please chime
in if I'm incorrect.
You can see the PDC level at the boot menu.
I'm assuming the fiber cards are the A6795A 1/2 Gb cards? I once spent
entirely too much time trying to get the 1gig cards to work.
Do you have an HPUX or Windows box with Command View set up to monitor the
VA? It's very advisable as you can do a lot of drill down if you have
problems and all remote to the system.
Did you configure HAFO?
You may want to offload the CIO nic with a standalone 100Bt card and leave
your DTC on the CIO.
That's about all I can think of...I think you'll like the new architecture!

We have just stood up a new A-class 2-way running 7.5 PP5. This is our first
7.5 system ... our two other machines are still on 6.5.
This system is configged with 4GB RAM, a VA7410 running off of two PCI FC
HBA's, 1 DTC 16, and two SureStore DDS-2 tape drives running off the LVD
SCSI interface.
SUBSYS products consist of NS, COBOL, and FORTRAN. We aren't using ALLBASE.
We do use FTP, incoming and outgoing. We will probably starting using
Sendmail for a few things (as an old UNIX admin, I respect Sendmail, but do
not fear it!)
Primary use for this system is MANMAN with around 170 users.
Our 3rd party portfolio is the usual: Suprtool, MPEX, Minisoft ODBC, and
Adager, plus some other odds and ends.
So, for this kind of system, what are the "must have" patches that we should
install on top of PP5?
