AIX Site Removal and Login Site Suggestions

With the migration from AIX to HP-UX underway, users need to be aware of
the schedule for the departing AIX machines.  Currently, two machines
are scheduled to be removed in the upcoming months.  These are:

        cymbal		June 1, 1997    Users attempting to connect to cymbal
                                        after the date of its removal
                                        will be rerouted to violin.

        Violin		July 25, 1997   Users attempting to connect to violin
                                        or cymbal after this date will
                                        be rerouted to two of the
                                        remaining four machines.

The remaining machines will be removed in the August through December
time frame.

NOTE:   Cal Poly faculty, staff and students may now log into any AIX
        site of their choice with the exception of "oboe" which is still
        restricted.  This allows the user to choose between any existing
        site such as cymbal, flute, harp, trumpet, tuba and violin.

The HP session server is one of the next machines scheduled to be
brought into production status after the migration of mail back to the
production server from its temporary site on Saturday, June 21, 1997.
As the session server (and the software on it) becomes available, users
will be encouraged to start using the HP machines instead of AIX.

Users with concerns about the scheduling and its affect on upcoming
courses and projects should contact User Support Services at 756-7000 or
email "uss@polymail.calpoly.edu".
