Talk:Hot spare

Stub?

Is this page really a stub? Looks pretty complete to me. 77.99.179.112 09:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hot standby

I added this as a different page. I have a view that a hot standby is not necessarily the same as a hot spare, but this may be being pedantic and the terms are certainly used interchangeably.

However, a hot standby is not necessarily a computer term, any system can have a hot standby - for example a generator may be kept running to ensure no power outages to a critical system. I'd be sure that your average nuclear power station has hot standby cooling systems. Spenny 23:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point. In which case, may I suggest you revisit Hot standby to make it less-computery and then link as appropriate to Hot spare. As it was, it was vastly duplicative (although I concede not 100%) ... richi 00:03, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am going for the position that the difference is not notable enough and the two terms can be successfully embraced under a single article, so I am content with the re-direct. It can always be split again if it is deemed too exciting. :) Spenny 10:35, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good plan ... richi 13:46, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cold standby and Warm standby?!

IN the wikipedia, there's no entry for Cold Standby and Warm Standby. Is there a reason for this omission? As far as I know, the Cold/Warm/Hot Standby are the 3 configuration options for nodes in a redundancy cluster. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.241.213.105 (talk) 18:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that probably the whole standby thing is one article and these concepts should be added to that article, with the specific phrases redirecting. That would suggest renaming this article and expanding it. Seem like an appropriate response? Spenny 22:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
