Re: Is IPL necessary?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Gotta agree with Al.  Had an old CISC machine that we HAD to IPL every 8 
weeks or it would run out of temporary addresses.  And the rest of the 
machines we only IPLed every 8 weeks to put on ptfs, etc.  Of course, the 
every 4 weeks machine would be our most critical machine.  Good selling 
point - upgrade to RISC and cut our downtime in half.

Re: Is IPL necessary?







Older CISC systems and System/38's had 48 bit addressing, and could run 
out
of addresses if not IPLed regularly.  RISC systems have 64 bit addressing,
and if you PTF regularly (every 6 months to a year), this is sufficient
IPLing.

Hello,

I am an RPG programmer and we have an Iseries 825. I was told by one of
our operators that IPLs do not need to be routinely scheduled.

Is this true? Is there any documentation I can refer to?

TIA

Jose
