Holiday preparations
Well, not reallym because these issues were theoughtr oif months ago but there never was a great need to execute them. Now I had some time - and reason: temperatures rise above actually acceptable values, and to be sure all keeps running (and no data is lost) I hade to take some action.
No more disks nearby
The only disk in the nearby BA356 cabinets was DCK100, here the user directories are located on USER: - a logical referring to DKC100:[USER.]. This whole directory tree has been copied to DKA102, that is controlled by the HSZ50. Next, USER has been redefined to refer to this new location and access was tested. Once that proved Ok, the old disk was dismounted and taken off-line. So, expcept for the local, built-in disk in Diana (that contains the pagefiles) all disks are now serverd by the HSZ50 - and located in an area that is not heated up that much if the sun burns op the roof.
SSH enabled
SSH has been set up on Diana weeks ago, now the point has come to enable that from outside. With some trouble, Cerberos has been configured to use SSH in stead of Telnet. First tested it using the ISP login and that works!
