Re: 170-2291 and V5R3

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

V5R3 is the end of the road for that 170.  Upgrading to that might 
increase it's value if plans are to dispose of it.  Especially if the 
client will pay you to upgrade it, and in the future may trade you the box 
for some services.  ;-)
Upgrading it will also make a migration to a newer box much easier.  You 
can actually follow the Backup and Recovery Guide and not cobble something 
together.

Anyone here still have performance data collected from before/after a V5R3 
upgrade?

170-2291 and V5R3






I have a client on a 170-2291 with 256mb memory running V5R1 just fine. I 
want to move them on to either 5.2 or 5.3. In either case I will up the 
memory to 512mb, but how much of a performance hit will I get going to 
5.2? 5.3?  Anyone running 5.3 on this small of a box?

They aren't going to buy a new system for at least 2 years...

Thanks
