Preliminary assessments are very encouraging.
The Service Guard software, which monitors processors for failures and shifts processing to active processors, is now being readied for a failover test late next week. This will allow an assessment of the impact of these applications on the NHD-A system in both a normal and failover mode. A comprehensive process flow for CM has been defined by the NWS, PRC, and FSL representatives. FSL continues to prepare WFO-Advance for the April 15, freeze date. They plan to ship OSD a tape on this date and continue testing the software through the end of the month.
