If you have open ports on Ethernet cards on both systems, you can simply
put
a patch cable between them (no crossover needed) and configure up a line.
Make sure to set up jumbo frames and the speed at 1Gb. You might also
consider looking at the TCP buffer size to increase that too.

Subject: Transferring Data from One iSeries box to another

Good morning, everyone.

In the past our development box was in another building relative to our
production box. What we did on a nightly basis was copy over the previous
day's production data from PRD to DEV over the network. This made it quite
a task to copy all this data over and took up a lot of bandwidth and time.

However, I have migrated the boxes and now have both the PRD and DEV in the
same rack. Instead of copying everything across the network I would prefer
to link the boxes directly into each other so that movement of the data
would be much faster. I'm guessing I simply cannot connect the boxes
directly using a crossover cable, so what is the best method to link these
boxes together and copy everything over? Should I look at some type of
fiber channel solution? If so, what part numbers would I need.

Incidentally the PRD box is a 520 series box (i5) and the production box is
a 720+. Both are running 6.1.1.


Thankee-sai!
