RE: Question - Your IPL Frequency

Once a month here after an Option 21 backup on each system.  User downtime
is minimal due to Mimix for the DB2 stuff and Domino clustering for the
Domino stuff.

We used to do a weekly full system save followed by an IPL.  We now do
both monthly instead and have noticed no effects from the change other
than a few more hours of uptime each week.

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.
