uptimes!

[SiliconAddict]

Well our Compaq Proliant server running NT4 SP6A has been up and running since October 1999 when we installed SP6A and the Y2K updates.

My home computers. Heh. It could probably stay up for months if it wasn't for the MS patch of the week thing. Since my home W2K Adv server is exposed, In the case of MS its such a legit word, to the net it would be stupid of me to not stay on the latest patches so invariably I end up installing and rebooting the system at least once a week GRRRR.

The company I work for had a customer who had a Solaris-based Unix system. We told them to reboot after we made a change to a kernel parameter. They asked how to reboot. It turns out they had never done so before. We sold them the computer over a year before, and it had been up continuously ever since!

I do Solaris for a living - that's no joke. My firewall server at home went 461 days. The only reason I shut it down was because I change my Internet provider and didn't need it any more.

You run [ran] Solaris at home? What on?

It was an old Ultra 1 E170. It was plenty fast for use as a router/firewall.

I also have an Ultra 5 that I could bring up if I needed to.

You can buy old SPARC boxes (which run Solaris) on eBay for practically pennies.

Slightly Ironical to see this thread today.

Uptime of 128 days from 10.2.7 update to 10.2.8 update for 1 of our xserves. The other shut it self down couple weeks about to heat overload Really hot day+small server room+ malfunctioning air conditioner= 45 degrees c ambient.

I experienced that this summer: someone, during the heatwave in the UK, had touched the aircon in the comms room, and one morning I come in and bang the server is down so I gotta go check it out. I open the door to the comms room and it's like someone is using a blow-dryer on my face. I guess it must have been in the 50 Celsius or so. Ouch!

On a separate note, I must have been one of the first ones to update to the new-and-improved 10.2.8, I'll be up there on uptime...
