Carsten,

This isn't good enough when you are only able to schedule down time for an
IPL once a month....

That is the restriction I have to live with. One other problem is that in
between those IPL's OS/400 is favoring the new disk drives and this can
create a real I/O bottleneck. 

My system is averaging 25,000 to 30,000 transaction per hour with an average
disk storage growth of 4GB per month though. We might be a bit "out of the
norm" ... 

Kenneth
