Re: Just Upgraded from 5r2 to 5r4

We just upgraded our OS and it seems to be running slower after the upgrade.

What are your systems specs?

With each release, the hardware requirements go higher. If bought a
baseline P05 Model 800, or even worse a P05 Model 270, you'll be off
bad.

Remember that even a baseline Model 515 struggles with V5R4 - the
problem is IO, not CPU. My point would be that i5/OS V5R4 requires _at
the very least_ 2GB of memory, just for the OS itself (add to that any
applicationyou might need). You'll need 4GB if you're running Stuff,
like ECS or the Administrative HTTP server, or Management Central,
etc. pp.

Remember, if you paid less than 6 figures for your System i, IBM
doesn't give a shit about your performance.
