RE: Leave the iSeries running or shut it down on weekends?

Actually we run a RCLSTG just prior to our complete system saves every 8 
weeks.

NEVER had a RCLSTG go south.  However we have had saves go south when 
completed without the RCLSTG because of damaged objects.  Doing the RCLSTG 
just prior has eliminated that issue.

Even if you're not 24/7, do NOT shut down your iSeries (or any machine if
possible) - your chances of losing a disk drive are much greater with the
spin-up/shut down cycles.

And IPL once a month.

And RCLSTG when the system complains or if the "Verify system objects" in 
GO
INSTALL says so, not at system backup time.

Now obviously you can't do this if you are a 24/7 shop, but if you are a
8-5, 5 days a week, shop is there a reason you shouldn't? Here is a forum
that someone posted the question on.
