------- Blind-Carbon-Copy To: address@hidden Subject: Role of thelma is changing Reply-to: address@hidden Organization: UCAR Unidata Program Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2002 14:34:28 -0700 From: Russ Rew <address@hidden> Hi Celia, This note is to let you know about - a change in the role of the thelma.ucar.edu machine in the Internet Data Distribution system, and - a change in the way we would like to administer thelma in the future. Since we have just finished a substantial upgrade to the machine that was known as thelma, we've decided to use it to take over much of motherlode's role in relaying data for the IDD. We will also configure motherlode and thelma to back each other up, in case either machine crashes or becomes unavailable for other reasons. With this change in the role of thelma in the IDD, it is more appropriate that Unidata have complete responsibility for its administration. The good news is that you won't have to make any changes to the LDM configuration on thelma in the future. If you need any configuration changes, you can just email them to address@hidden (or address@hidden, but that might take longer to act on). The bad news is that you won't *get* to administer thelma's LDM configuration, because we are assuming that responsibility completely. Please let me know if you have any questions about this. And thanks for all your help in administering thelma in the past! - --Russ _____________________________________________________________________ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu ------- End of Blind-Carbon-Copy
