Re: Enough Performance? -- DOMINO400

Generally speaking R6 runs fine on iSeries and according to IBM it can 
handle a larger workload than R5.
I fould that when we first upgraded in December of 2003 from Domino R5.11 
to R6.03 we gained back some CPU utilization
 but we had a higher paging and faulting rate.

Response time aslo seemed a bit solwer than R5.

 This is a model 170. What is the config? How many processors and memory, 
disk etc.  You say  the iSeries has three partitions running domino 5.12. 

It has 3 LPARs or 3 Domino severs? There is a big difference... 

How many users? What kind of workload? Notes Client and HTTP workload?

I would also be very  concerned with upgrading to R6. Are you going to QA 
your CRM systems on Domino R6?
Are you upgrading the clients as well? 

Did you know that there are issues with 6.5.3? 

Search this forum for 6.5.3.

I would recommend using 6.5.1

Sean

subject: Enough Performance?

All:

I have been asked to help with a Domino upgrade on a 170 model 9406 V5R1. 
Currently, this iSeries has 3 partitions on it running R5.0.12. They want 
to move to R6.5.3, iNotes, maybe a Domino intranet site. The partitions 
aren't really being taxed, in that one partition is running mail, SMTP, 
and the like and the other two partitions are running "some sort" of 
Domino CRM system. Each of the other 2 partitions are running the CRM but 
for one specific area of the company (for example one partition is running 

it for the Canadian division and the other for the US/"other" divisions). 
They have plenty of DASD, and I am waiting for the RAM.

What else should I be looking at? This 170 is doing nothing but Domino 
tasks. Everything else is on their 820. I just want to make sure that 
putting R6.5.3 won't tax this iSeries too much, at least not so much that 
the users are directly impacted.

Thanks.

Gregg

I don't remember the O/S requirements for the proposed version of Domino 
--
that, and the hardware necessary for it, might well be more significant
factors than the Domino version itself.  Does the Server.Load utility
provide any help for this question?
