It  is your call.

While  the system can be left up, my vote is down for reasons beyond  our control.

It is the not under our control environmental factors that concern me.

The  only difference I see is you are betting on the  fate of your AS400 & disks upon  your UPS  ability to manage and survive any series of Power outages.  You  might be fine  with full RAID  protection,with a disk power up failure BUT in  worse shape in the event of multiple incomplete IPLs with the power remaining on and exhausting/exceeding your UPS capabilities.

If your  concerned about Disk Drives Not  Starting after a Powerdown:
 Would it be prudent to begin a replacement program [post 01-01-00]  for those suspect disk drives?  
That way you  would be in control  of "legacy  DASD" for 2000  and beyond .





Happy Holidays,

Glenn
