 Unix Tip #4303- December 22, 2012
 
OUTAGE LENGTHS  
  
It is always good to give yourself  
enough time to perform an outage.  
One good rule is to use the simple  
formula: Length + 1/2 Length.  
  
If your outage will take 1 hour  
call the outage for 1.5 hours.  
  
If you outage will take 4 hours  
get a 6 hours window for the outage.  
  
This will provide negotiating  
room with management, users, and  
time correct any issues that may  
develop from the outage.  
  
How do you think Scotty, on Star  
Trek, was always able to get the  
engines back online early and look  
like a hero to Captain Kirk?
