Dear Tru64-Admins,
I would like to hear your opinion:
We do software development and support. For Tru64, I have
available a
DEC3000_500 (1 CPU: EV4, 150 Mhz; 128 MB RAM)
and a
DEC2100_C500 (4 CPUs: EV5, 250 Mhz; 1024 MB RAM)
I will assign one of these for generating packages (= oldest
supported version of Tru64) and one for additional testing
(= new version); IMHO, both have sufficient power for either
of these tasks.
They currently run 3.2C and 4.0B, resp., so I have to upgrade
both for Y2K compliance to 4.0D or higher - true ?
(Aside: What will fail in 4.0B in year 2000 ? AFAIR, a reboot
of the machine with some date in 2000 did not show any problems,
but all we need is the base system with TCP/IP, CDE, compiler;
we use neither AdvFS nor LSM, LVM, DECnet, or other add-ons.)
Do you have any recommendations which of these machines
should run the newer OS version(s) and which the older ?
Disk space is sufficient to consider dual-boot installation,
but I do not know whether running 5.0- (or 4.0G-) generated
binaries on 4.0D is possible. Any comments / experiences ?
Thank you for your replies, of course I will summarize.
Joerg Bruehe
