Subject: Re: 170 - Power it off or keep it powered on?
Bonnie,
I've heard that somewhere along the line (forget which VxR it was), but
think it was V4) that if the system was not powered on after so many
days (30? 60?) that, when you did power it on it said something about
the license was expired. You can set up a power on/off schedule (GO
POWER) to automatically bring it up for , say, 30 minutes and then power
itself off on a regular basis. (And, if it's sitting in someone else's
office, you might schedule this in the middle of some day just for kicks
and grins - otherwise late at night should do.)

We have a 170 at V5R1 that is not used other than for static storage.
The data was replicated to our 520 two years ago.
Is there any reason not to power it off until that time that someone
thinks they need to pull something from it?
Or would it be better to leave it powered on?
It has no maintenance contract. I do not think it will be used.
Thank you,
