So, That means it is okay to say that every time we have a new version of operating system we upgrade our hardware - someone is talking "M S "'s language here. I thought that is not the case with IBM's AS/400 - well I guess I was wrong. We were running our billion dollar business on 436 without a single problem and just the version upgrade will make it obsolete box - I am sorry but there is something wrong with this picture.

So, as the other gentleman said, if you would have had Windows 3.1 running on an older PC and upgraded it to Win NT or W2K then you could have expected about the same results. A 436 is a teeny weensie box. IBM has said that the follow on to V5R1 will not run on some older boxes - like a 40S that we have. And if you have such a machine you are partially right. Before you decide to upgrade OS, maybe you should think about upgrading hardware. But then we have a P40 that is: % CPU used . . . . . . . : 3.0 (Above was a snapshot from DSPSYSSTS at 9:38am our time) So we are going to upgrade it to a P50.

We ended up moving to another box. I will say if you have an older box and it has no performance issues just leave it alone - unless you have have a more robust box. We had 436 which was an old box but it was performing very well with v4r3 - now that we migrated to 170 and it is working fine with v4r5 ( but it has more DASD and memory is almost double than older box) B Khan -----Original Message----- From: rob@dekko.com [mailto:rob@dekko.com] Sent: Monday, October 08, 2001 5:50 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: RE: Will Upgrading to V4R5 impact performance???

Just did two upgrades this weekend. model 600 (smallest processor) V4R3 w/128 meg memory 12 gig disk model S10 2119 V4R4 w/256memory 32 gig disk model 600 took forever - about 16 hours total including cum ptf model S10 was done in 9 including cum. no performance degradation so far (model 600 already was slow for users) I would recommend more memory for your box. Also - for the 600, just OS, RPG, Dev Tools, took addtl 800 meg disk. be sure to read the Preventive Service Plan (PSP) for this upgrade. (not listed in release instructions)at 4.3, your machine needs to have ptf MF25727 (product 5769999) already installed (or a supersede) we also loaded SF99105 Group PTF for Database SF99096 Hiper ptf's after v4r5 cum ptf hth jim franz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barb Nash" <Barb.Nash@phbcorp.com> To: <midrange-l@midrange.com> Sent: Monday, October 08, 2001 1:31 PM Subject: Will Upgrading to V4R5 impact performance??? > Hello, > I am planning on upgrading our 9402 (model 400, feature 2131)from V4R3 > to V4R5 in the near future.
