As a follow-up to this. After over 2 weeks of having the hotfix loaded I have not experienced a crash. Lotus Support also tells me that none of the other customers have had a crash after loading the fix.

If you're an iSeries customer with Domino Web Access users waiting until now to upgrade to 7.0, I would suggest waiting until February (hopefully) for 7.0.1. We have been working with Lotus support on http crashes that take our Mail server down (in some cases 5 times per day!). I have sent Lotus support 25+ NSDs and Console logs (since November 17) and we have gone through 3 Debugging hotfixes (and it's not isolated to us, several other customers on Wintel and iSeries have reported this). I loaded a hotfix Tuesday night that we believe is an actual fix. I will say that Lotus Support has been great through this!! I have not had an HTTP crash for this entire week. We have gone 1 week without a crash on 7.0 before, though, so I can't guarantee yet that this has been corrected with the current hotfix PTF. But, I am really hopeful this time. Along with this, if you use Notes Smart Upgrade and you have a lot of clients that are multi-user installs, the 7.0 Notes Upgrade will require them to fill in the Client Configuration wizard. See technote 1219467. I am told that this will be fixed with the 7.0.1 client. As far as performance goes, I can say that I have seen much better performance on our servers. At 6.5.4 FP2, we were averaging 27.3% CPU for the App server alone. At 7.0, we are averaging 23.7% CPU. That's a 13% reduction in CPU for the Application server. For my mail server, it's roughly the same. At 6.5.4 FP2, we averaged 19.55% CPU and this week (after a week of uptime with no CPU spikes from restarts!) we've averaged 16.91% - that's a 13.5% reduction in CPU as well. Memory utilization has gone up some on 7.0 - about 10% on the App server and it's about the same on the Mail server. Also, you have to be at V5R3 to run Domino 7, but that's highly documented - just an FYI... Have a Happy New Year!
