Hi David, Congrats on the new machine! What we often suggest is bringing up the new machine "gusher", and have it run in parallel for a time with redwood. Once you are confident that gusher is stable and getting all feeds desired, notify all those that feed from you (from your ldmd.conf) to change to gusher from redwood. This will allow some flexibility for the transition as both redwood and gusher can offer the feed. Then notify the downstream folks of the "drop dead" date/time for redwood and all should be feeding from gusher by that time. Thats how we do it. I am assuming this does not affect "striker"...;) Cheers, -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber address@hidden Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ On Mon, 3 Feb 2003, Unidata Support wrote: > > Reply-to:David Knight <address@hidden> > -------- > > ------- Forwarded Message > > >To: address@hidden > >cc: address@hidden > >From: David Knight <address@hidden> > >Subject: chaning idd relay machine > >Organization: UCAR/Unidata > >Keywords: 200302031501.h13F18627520 > > Hi, > The time has come to change the machine we use for our IDD relay. > To insure continuity of both our local data, and our downstream sites, > we will probably want to run both idd machines in parallel for some time. > > Is there a "best practices" writeup somewhere on the recommended procedure > for transitioning from one IDD machine to another?
