RE: What is an i5 (iSeries, AS/400)

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Gerald,
Are you thinking pre i5?  Because I do not think that on an i5 that a 
SAVSYS will do what you are claiming.  Remember, on the i5, there is no 
such thing as a controlling partition (other than the non OS/400 FSP), 
like on earlier hardware.  Besides, a SAVSYS wouldn't save half the stuff 
you said, even on an iSeries or an AS/400.  A SAVSTG might, or even a GO 
SAVE option 21 might, but not just a SAVSYS.  And now that I think about 
it, I don't think a SAVSTG, or GO SAVE option 21 of a controlling 
partition on an iSeries would get the other partitions.  Would get the IXS 
data and stuff, but not the other partitions.

Since it does all those thing previously mentioned, regardless of what or 
how it's done the single most important concept I use/promote is that, in 
a restricted condition - via SAVSYS, you can back it all up using one 
command and with ULTRIUM, possibly on one tape.

My definition (regardless of the label IBM puts on it):

How many other systems can share the same disk drives, run AIX, Windows, 
LINUX, Web stuff, RPG/COBOL/JAVA applications simultaneously etc... all on 

a single box and can be backed up using one tape and one command?
