The building will have its power reconditioned on Sunday with a total outage. The batteries will not run that long forcing a complete system power down. EMC is telling us that in order to power down/up their DMX boxes, this needs to be done by an EMC CE, is not covered under the warranty or any existing maintenance contract and is billable for DOWN and billable again for UP. Although they are going to do it for nothing this time.
Have had IBM, STK, HDS, Itel, UNISYS, Burroughs, and even Calcomp DASD over the years and it was always pushing the POWER OFF and POWER UP buttons myself. Is it the general experience out their in the real world that DASD vendors now charge for such an event and if so how much? Curious in Washington DC.
