Hello Andrew -
I've done some talking with my colleagues here in IS and the consensus is as
follows:
- we will only Athenize a SPARCclassic, not a SPARC2 or SPARC10
- we will only support a "cookie-cutter" machine - i.e. one identical
to the ones that we deploy currently to departments and public
clusters, with no special customizations
- the yearly fee for AthenaService is $350 plus the cost of hardware
maintenance. The total cost for machines not on warranty in FY95
is in the vicinity of $800. If you are certain about not wanting to
go on the Athena maintenance contract, then you would still be
charged the $350 fee and would have to work out an
agreement in advance with the Cluster Support group about
what they would and would not be responsible for as far as triage
is concerned.
The next step that you need to take in order to move forward on Athenizing
the SPARCclassic is to send email to hotline@mit. They will take it from
there.
Naomi
