I'm wondering if it might be better to sell it outright now, while it is
still relevant, and worth a little more money, as opposed to waiting until
V6R1 is reaching end of life and I can no longer upgrade it.
The 9405-520's can run V7R1. I'm really really sure of that :)
If I sold it, I could lease a newer box.but that's not the same as owning
one.
Problem is, if you buy a new box now you're basically getting old tech
- Power 6. And it will be quite a bit of time till Power 7 trickles
down to the machines restricted to a single core.
Do you need more power? Depending on your workload and the current
configuration of the 520 you have, you might want to consider buying a
few more disks and a RAID controller with cache - you can get these
used. They still have insane prices, but they're less insane than
IBM's list prices.
