Re: Hosted LPAR performance

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A better reason:  the deprecated software may not (and will not in some
areas) work since the plumbing is changing over time.
When IBMrs say:  "That might work......"  take it for granted that it will
not stay that way.  A PTF might kill the function.

Why the resistance to move to the new ACS and Navigator is beyond me.  Yes,
things on the new navigator are some times harder to find, and it works
differently in some areas, but 90% of what you want is the same.

Then there are the enhanced things that are only in the new GUI.

The only time the new *ADMIN server performs worse than the old windows
based functions is on start up, yea that *ADMIN server starts hard, real
hard, but then settles down to work very nicely   Now if your comparison is
to log on, check the users and log off it might take longer, but if you
start it, and use it, the performance gets better as it wakes up and gets
the servers all running.

.  I agree with the comment it is highly doubtful the *ADMIN server is part
of the overall performance impact.  My guess would be connectivity issues.
