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

I must have read something wrong a few years ago. I've had in my head that
it was doing some sort of suspend. You know how reading IBM docs is..
haha..

So, on my 515 (V5R4) holding the power button down for 5 seconds (while the
display counts down) is the same as issuing PWRDWNSYS *IMMED? Seems that
way. :)

Is there really such thing as sleep mode ?

It does exist for IBM i on Power Systems.
The name of this function is Partition Suspend and Resume. It was provided
by 7.1 TR2 and requires using VIOS.

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.

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?
