I'm not in a position to help right now, but ultimately, Tru64 is just
Unix. What works on other versions of Unix will largely work on Tru64,
too. It uses its own filesystem, advfs, which compares favourably with
other unices. But really, any competent sysadmin can pick up the
details of Tru64 storage management in a very short time. If they're
just using basic Tru64, you might be able to convince the client that
Tru64 specific experience isn't necessary. The exception to that would
probably be if they're using TruCluster, which is straightforward
enough, but they might want someone who can hit the ground running.
