OUTAGE LENGTHS 
It is always good to give yourself
 enough time to perform an outage.
 One good rule is to use the simple
 formula: Length + 1/2 Length.
 
 If your outage will take 1 hour
 call the outage for 1.5 hours.
 
 If you outage will take 4 hours
 get a 6 hours window for the outage.
 
 This will provide negotiating
 room with management, users, and
 time correct any issues that may
 develop from the outage.
 
 How do you think Scotty, on Star
 Trek, was always able to get the
 engines back online early and look
 like a hero to Captain Kirk?
