Re: OpenVMS - When downtime is not an option

And there I was thinking it was just a running-gag with the same stunt-fish
from the "Bullet through the disk cabinet" video. (Remember that these guys
are professionals folks; don't try this sort of *** at home!)

Cheers Richard Maher.

"Why did they use fish in the first video?" Well I guess it's hard for the
human eye to see a bullet whizzing past, but add an exploding aquarium, like
the Mission Impossible restaurant scene or the zoo from Eraser and it's all
pretty dramatic. (Well, at least to me anyway. I'm sure someone here will
analyze frame by frame to prove that they're not the same fish - Ahah!)

Anyway, what's with the fish?

Did you miss the fact that the fish came sailing through the air to
return to their aquarium at the end? One could almost say that a
business whose datacenter is down (or in the process of failover) is
like a ______ out of water (fill in the blank). In case that's not
clear enough, if you breathed with gills and had to be out of water
while your tank was being changed, would you rather it took a VMS
amount of time, an HP-UX amount of time, a Windows amount of time, or a
Linux amount of time?
