RE: v6r1 upgrade woes

Nope, all of the work was done over the weekend. We completed the option 21 / install 6.1 / conversion / option 21 on Saturday and tested the results on Sunday. Nothing noted.

However, with everyone one the system today plus our jobs running at full bore it seems to have impacted performance.

Program conversions? If so, the performance should pick up as programs are done being converted.

v6r1 upgrade woes

Hi all,

We finally completed our upgrade to v6r1 on the weekend on out 520 box.
The upgrade was flawless with the exception of having to turn off Extended
Passive Mode and Extended Port Mode for some of our FTP jobs. However, I
noticed that since the upgrade our system is running abnormally slow -
batch jobs are piling up and the overall system performance is lethargic.

We have two weeks until our migration to our new Power7 box, but I'm
wondering if there's anything I should look for in the meantime. Here's a
brief rundown of the current box:

- Model type - 9406-520

- Main Storage - 16GB (auto-adjusting)

- DASD - 850GB (49% utilized)

Just an FYI - we do have a lot of QZDASOINIT jobs that occupy a large
percentage of CPU utilization, but this was already occurring before the
upgrade, so there's something else occurring that is killing our system
performance.

Any ideas on where to start looking?

Thankee-sai!
