RE: Leaving IBM i on vs. sleep mode and fire it up now and then

Is there really such thing as sleep mode ?

When I did PWRDWNSYS on our old 515 the power supply the fans would still spin, but I didn't know there was a way to suspend via the white button.

subject: Leaving IBM i on vs. sleep mode and fire it up now and then

I have v7r3 development box (power 8) that I leave on all the time.

My question is with my older 515 running V5R4. I normally put it to sleep by holding the power button. Then when I need to do some work on it I fire it up.

This is normally about 2-5x a month.

Would it be better for the 515 machine to just leave it running? Or is the sleep/wake cycle not a huge issue with this hardware?
