Re: Question - Your IPL Frequency

We have a 150 set up to be an FTP server for the rail-roads that gets IPLed 
only when necessary (every six months or so), but all of our other systems are 
IPLed once a week, after the backup, to apply PTFs. I know we don't have to, 
but the system's in a restricted state anyway, and it's far easier to apply 
PTFs delayed then while the system is active.

  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.
