We are allowed to go home last night and today we go back at 6am.We are not sure if we will stay untill tommorow.

We continue preparing the testers for production tommorow of A-shift using the new server/s.

Main concern is the mapping of Windows Testers and mounting for DOS and UNIX testers.They should be able to access their home directories for them to be able to load their test programs and save their summaries/datalogs.

For Windows, it is simple mapping.But we encounter problem,they can not map!Maybe it the Samba installed in the new server(samba not the danceSamba is a free software re-implementation of SMB/CIFS networking protocol, ) and the passwords of the users.But we resolved it this afternoon.

Dor Dos,I believe I already stated how it was done in my previous post.

And for UNIX, there are a lot of works to do here.There are diferent platforms with different set up.But the main concern is the tester can access the customer's home directory or upon login in they should be in their home directory.

This C-shift will be the start-up.This would also be a great opportunity for us to prepare/verify if we can go on with the migration.And the maint team will be available they will be the one to power up other testers.And the facilities are doing some changes in the a certain production area and we are affected since they are doing some changes in the drop polls and we do not have sockets for the power supply and ports for network connect.Maybe during start up those will be OK and we can go on with our activity.But we didn't stay,why?According to our boss our director still need to approve the C-shift OT.Which means,it is not sure that we will get paid for that.duh!?

Anyway,Let's just see what will happen tommorow,if this migration will be successful or failed...
