RE: AS400 system configuration 820/2436

That is the plan.  Know of a source for used 35GB 15K drive to put into a
5095?  Actually I am trying to remove the old migration tower and put stuff
into the 5095 PCI-X expansion tower that I had to add for the LVD LTO-2 tape
changer.  I also need the fastest Raid-5 controller I can put into the 5095
to drive all twelve drives.  I wish IBM would make it easier to compare
features such as the 2757,2763,2782,4778,5703,5715 raid controllers.  Time
to search Google.

Of course eliminating the 5095 will chop a tidy sum off your monthly 
hardware maintenance.

The LVT did let me put an IOP in C01 so I can use C02.  C07 is SOL.  Kind 
of
expensive to move one card.  On the other hand, I can put these cards into
the 5095 expansion tower with purchase of an IOP.  I am still playing with
the config.  Thanks for the tip on the LVT, neat tool.

Chris,

  Just off the top of my head you are out of luck, but the LVT you have 
downloaded should tell you if I'm all wet or not. The 4838 is pretty 
intense and you already have a 2749 on one IOP and the 2778 on the 
other. In addition IOPs will drive only 4 IOAs. So I think you're hosed 
since you don't have enough space to add another IOP....
