4646.0. "Is the Internet InfoCenter Server Sizer Broken ?" by BBO010::TILBY () Fri May 02 1997 02:24

    I've just gotten the following bounced email when sending an urgent
    query to server-sizer-comment@ibgzko.zko.dec.com (which is the comment
    email address for the Customer WebSizer/Calculator) as follows. My
    email has the basic question - Is the Sizer broken ? - see my email in
    this entry.
    
    Anyone from the appropriate IBG area have any ideas ?
    
    Thanks

    Subject: Problems with the Server Sizer ?

    Hi Guys,
    
    I've just had a Business Partner point out to me (and I've duplicated
    his woes) that there seems to be something amiss on the Internet
    InfoCenter "Sizing a Responsive Server" page.
    
    Starting at 
    http://webforum.research.digital.com/innovators/public/unix-server-sizer/
    and taking either of the two options (Considerations for Designing etc
    http://webforum.research.digital.com/innovators/public/unix-server-sizer/
    srvrcons.htm or Calculations to Help etc ...
    http://webforum.research.digital.com/innovators/public/unix-server-sizer/
    srvrcalc.htm ) brings you to a text document about the appropriate subject 
    with a Ismap image
    http://webforum.research.digital.com/innovators/public/unix-server-sizer/
    icons/main4.gif which has an option to go to the actual Sizer/Calculator
    with a link of 
    http://webforum.research.digital.com/cgi-bin/innovators/unix-server-sizer
    .This does not take you to the sizer at that page (that used to
    calculate it for you) but back to the page from which you start at 
    http://webforum.research.digital.com/innovators/public/unix-server-sizer/
     .
    
    
    The question I have is - is the Server Sizer still available and there
    is just a mixup in the web pointer or is it no longer available or is
    it under repair ?. If the middle option is the case, the pages should be
    modified so that the impression that it is still available is corrected.
    I have a "sizing" meeting with this local BP next Tuesday, so I'd 
    appreciate knowing a little more before I meet with them.
    
    Thanks
