3737 days of uptime
Saturday, March 16. 2013
In the recent day, a video about a Solaris 9 machine up and running for 3737 days made news in blogs or at Slashdot. I know the machine must have been downrev as hell and perhaps not that loaded (they wrote that it was idling for a year before the shutdown). But never the less quite some time. But i wanted to add something else: I immediately thought, that it was unnecessary to stop the machine. There are ways to keep the system running while moving the system as readers of this blog know, as i linked to a video of some guys moving a running system through Hamburg with public transport some time ago.

A few years ago, I baked and (badly) decorated an E250-themed cake to celebrate 5 years of uptime for one of our machines:

Thanks to the dual power supplies, we'd walked it over on to generator power through a few datacenter power maintenances.

Not doing much (some ftp services, which should have been retired and are undocumented), but I found an undocumented Ultra 2 running Solaris 9 in our data centre audit. Single power supply, two 9gbyte disks, 512megabytes ram, 3963 days uptime.
We will hold a little party when it cracks 4000 days... not sure I really want to power it off though... but it is a waste of space and power....
