RE: How often do you IPL?

["Graap, Ken" <keg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've settled into a monthly IPL routine mostly because it provides a regular
time to apply those MF* PTF's that require an IPL. This is also the time we
schedule that rare preventative maintenance that requires a power down, like
replacing cache batteries. Our users have gotten use to us being down once a
month for a little while on a Sunday evening too... I know the IPL itself
isn't "required" this often; it is just our window of opportunity for when
we do need to take the system off line. Our users have gotten use to the
routine and our business allows us to be down Sunday evenings for a little
while, this is all good ... <smile>

Ken,

With our 64 bit architecture, you only need to IPL periodically.  For most
"normal" software, IPLing with you do cumulative PTF packages is
sufficient.  The only thing you have to watch out for is running out of
addresses.

Usually once a month, to apply PTF's and prior to a SAVSYS + Full System
save.

HI We are once a week. Is it worth squeezing in a daily?
