For those of you who don't follow my blog, I've been meaning to post an
unofficial opinion about my Domino 7 upgrade.
If you're an iSeries customer with Domino Web Access users waiting until
now to upgrade to 7.0, I would suggest waiting until February (hopefully)
for 7.0.1.
We have been working with Lotus support on http crashes that take our Mail
server down (in some cases 5 times per day!). I have sent Lotus support
25+ NSDs and Console logs (since November 17) and we have gone through 3
Debugging hotfixes (and it's not isolated to us, several other customers
on Wintel and iSeries have reported this). I loaded a hotfix Tuesday night
that we believe is an actual fix. I will say that Lotus Support has been
great through this!!
I have not had an HTTP crash for this entire week. We have gone 1 week
without a crash on 7.0 before, though, so I can't guarantee yet that this
has been corrected with the current hotfix PTF. But, I am really hopeful
this time.
Along with this, if you use Notes Smart Upgrade and you have a lot of
clients that are multi-user installs, the 7.0 Notes Upgrade will require
them to fill in the Client Configuration wizard. See technote 1219467. I
am told that this will be fixed with the 7.0.1 client.
As far as performance goes, I can say that I have seen much better
performance on our servers. At 6.5.4 FP2, we were averaging 27.3% CPU for
the App server alone. At 7.0, we are averaging 23.7% CPU. That's a 13%
reduction in CPU for the Application server. For my mail server, it's
roughly the same. At 6.5.4 FP2, we averaged 19.55% CPU and this week
(after a week of uptime with no CPU spikes from restarts!) we've averaged
16.91% - that's a 13.5% reduction in CPU as well.
Memory utilization has gone up some on 7.0 - about 10% on the App server
and it's about the same on the Mail server.
Also, you have to be at V5R3 to run Domino 7, but that's highly documented
- just an FYI...
Have a Happy New Year!
