In 1999, I commenced contracting with Jaguar Cars. My primary role centred on supporting the production VMS systems. I held responsibility for all aspects related to the operating system and layered products supporting the production application (OPCON), which encompassed:
- Networking configuration
- Disk Shadowsets
- Application program development
- Operating installs and patches
- File system journals
- Backups (System and Application)
- Hardware configuration
- Disaster recovery planning
The hardware setup included a cluster of four Alpha 1000s running OpenVMS 7.1, with three shadowsets providing shared reliable storage for both the application and operating system.
Following a significant project, I was honoured to receive a personal letter of commendation from the CEO of Jaguar.
