What kind of UNIX?
-
@scottalanmiller DG/UX on a Data General AViiON. In theory it should never need to go down, but it is getting cranky in its old age.

Wow, DataGeneral!!!
-
Is that an M88K unit?
-
-
32bit? It's 2001, has to be. That's nuts.
-
2001 at the latest, I mean. Thats when DG disappeared.
-
@scottalanmiller Indeed. It predates my career (high school career, even) -- and will probably outlast it too
-
9GB disk array!! The future is now!!!!

I'm not 100% sure when this guy was put into service but I believe it was mid 90's.
-
What is it running that it isn't replaced with a Raspberry Pi?
-
And I'm not kidding, a Raspberry Pi 3 might easily crush that thing in CPU, memory and disks!
-
Good morning everybody!

lol...
A host of various proprietary applications. It's not a question of performance, it's just that the code doesn't port easily. P2V is a no-go due to VMware not getting off their lazy asses and coding drivers for 20 year old niche UNIX platforms -- those jerks.
We have begun porting the applications to RHEL one at at a time, but it's not in production yet. There's a lot of kinks to work out for silly stuff like terminal emulation, printers, etc.
