We just run them every 8 weeks.  There are some listers that will go
into a spastic fit because we run them on a regular basis.  However,
scheduling downtime can be difficult and when we have it scheduled we
really like to jam in the maintenance.

Not that it does any good with some of IBM's performance tools BS.  Even
after running a RCLSTG we were still having troubles saving some *MGTCOL
objects in QMPGDATA and QMGTC2.  Now we save all *MGTCOL objects to a
save file prior to doing a GO SAVE -21 just to delete any corrupted
ones.  It was that consistent.  Corrupted objects on i5/OS are pretty
common.

Reclaim storage question






Since the reclaim storage question has come up again, I am wondering if
I need to do another soon. The last one I ran was on a previous box
(820) and that was on Feb 1, 2004. I have not done one on this new box
(520). That was on v5r1 and we are now on v5r3. We have had no abnormal
shutdowns since on this 520. 

We went to this 520 last October so I am not overly concerned about
running one, but thought I would ask.

Any guidelines or hints as to how often to run one if things are going
smooth, as they normally do? Is there are value to watch for a certain
threshold to trigger one?

Dave
