No, he's not a moron. I don't know what kind of Sun machines, or whatever you're running, but the standards in the industry for reliability/RAS are set by machines like IBM mainframes and Tandem no-down servers. Sun is "supposed" to be there according to McNeally, but they aren't. The "nines" are used, where five nines means 99.999% up time, or availability, the inverse of downtime. Five nines is about 5 minutes of downtime a year. IBM machines are proud to have five nines, Tandems 7 or 8 nines, and those machines are loaded with I/O to the hilt. Your 40 hours is pissant. What are they, workstations sitting in a window with filters that haven't ever been changed?
