678.1HAVE VERSION THAT WORKSMSE1::ENOHolographic MemoryFri Mar 07 1997 14:284
The system manager upgraded the system and this was unknown to me... The Motif VERSION 1.2-3 with patches
crashed the application often... After Upgradeing to verion 1.2-4 with patches and reinstalling the version
I had the crashes ceased... I threrfore assume that the new version is being built on Motif 1.2-4 with patches
and not 1.2-3 as previously stted in this notes file...
678.2Simple models still do not buildMSE1::ENOHolographic MemoryMon Mar 10 1997 19:3027
The kit I have installed in dated 28-FEB-1997 18:29:35.00 with ECP version of 

                image file identification: "ECP V4.0-01"

I am creating the MERG from the CPD data and I have to modify the model because 
all of the RZ29 disks show up as RZ28 disks... I also have to add the FDDI because
the FDDI devices are not collected the PSDC... I am using a very simple data set of 
five classes DETACH, BATCH, INTERACTIVE, NETWORK, and OTHER... This is a BRS cluster
with a lot of loads. I got one model to build, however, the CI load was far off from
the DECPS data... 


Now I am aware that the customer forms and breaks RAID and SHADOW sets often. Is this 
a condition that would corrupt the MERG files? 

Is thier a limit to the SIZE of the MERG files. I have found MERG files as large as 
16,000 blocks for a 1/2 hour sample period. This customer wants to model thier own
site, however, they have requested aid to understand and build some initial models. At
the present time I have had little success and I am confused as to why the customer 
cannot build, and why I cannot build models using ECP 4.0... I have been using the 
capacity planner for years and I initially trained on the character cell version.

Has a change occured that makes ECP unstable? I have noticed that the KITs are not 
available. Is the product still viable? Should I suggest an alternative to the Customer?
