¹ The tabbed data is post-processed of the raw data in which the 150 seconds unavailability intervals after 5-day availability intervals have been removed. See {ja_ko_mascots09} for more details.

² This is the CPU availability version.

³ This is the host availability version which is according to the multi-state availability model of Brent Rood .

Using mysql dumps

To use the mysql dumps, you must first create a mysql database. (It's up to you to create a database for each data set or one for all data sets.) The schema is defined in fta.src.

To instantiate the database, run the command:

mysql [db] < fta.sql
