Avner,
Thanks for responding; actually I have three servers CCM-PRI/CRS, CCM-BAK &
Unity. The least memory in any of the servers is about 1.4GB.
Sure, one will make sure that everything is working before he leaves, my
fears is what if the server reboots after you left and also I was not sure
if the proctors just like in R&S reboots the pods before grading.
As someone else suggested, the best bet is to avoid taking the Voice lab on
Friday or any day immediately preceding a holiday. This is very important
because your lab might not be graded until Monday/The next business day;
this leaves one exposed to the power fluctuations.
Thanks.
