Greetings,

Currently we are on a model 170, V5R3, 100GB disk (55% used), BPCS v. 405CD, and Lansa for the (SYSTEM i) WEB - v.11.5; everything just running in one partition - Hardware maint., but NO software subscription..

We are starting to see slowdowns, and are beginning to investigate an upgrade to a new System i Model - which should have 4-8 times the processing power of our model 170.

Would V5R3 be able to run on the new model? Would it be beneficial to set up LPARs? Do you have to get a software subscription for a certain period?

We would like to also look into the possibility of using the 170 as a Disaster Recovery/Hot Site option, but I know that V5R3 is as high as you can go on the model 170, and I'm wondering what kind of "backward" compatibility issues there may be between the newly selected model and the 170, and their respective O/S levels?

Any associated "ball park" costs would be very helpful to guide us going forward.

Thanks,
Don C.
