I just recently switched my users off of our old System i5 520 to a new hosted LPAR.
The old 520 was 600 CPW with 1GB RAM and 175GB DASD. It wasn't lightning fast, but it ran fine for our needs.
The new hosted LPAR is 960 CPW with 4GB RAM and 500GB DASD. A slice of an 8286-42A. Running over gigabit fiber.
My users are complaining the new system is very slow in comparison to the old box. Why would that be?
I'm fairly certain it's not the internet connection: menu travel flows fine, screens switch quickly enough; the cursor moves as expected without delays. It's just when running a longer process - interactive or batch - it takes longer than before.
Further info: we did a slip upgrade in December, and then when we went live, I FTPd save files of our production data and performed manual restores.
Any suggestions of what to look at? It just seems to me that this new machine should be at least somewhat noticeably quicker - but it's not.
Thanks
