RE: Question - Your IPL Frequency

I IPL our 520 every six months or so - just like Al said - to apply PTFs.

Subject: Question - Your IPL Frequency


Hi All,

 

I noticed a small discussion on when to IPL a system.  I wanted to take
a quick poll to see how often everyone here IPLs their systems?

 

Right now, our system is set up to perform a full system backup and IPL
immediately after this (it's done during non-production hours, so it
doesn't affect operations) on a weekly basis.  Is weekly too frequent
for a new 520 box, or does it matter considering that it does not affect
the operations?

 

Thanks,

 

Brian.
