Good stats! We decided on the CEC only version with 4 drives on the 40mb
imbedded and 4 drives on a 90mb 5776. I think we're gonna be fine...

Our production box has 54 70GB 15K disks (3.1TB/RAID5). Our DR box has
fewer arms (42) but more capacity (5TB/RAID5) as the 140GB 15K disks had
become available when we bought it. I only spec the fastest spindle
speed disks that are available which is why I avoided the 300GB 10K
disks.
Our dev LPAR has the 6 140GB 15K disks in the 570 CEC with the
small-cache RAID card. It runs RTVDSKINF about 1.5 times faster than
the 830 it replaced; the 830 had 62 17GB 10K arms.

our production lpar has 74 - 70GB drives in it. Been with 70GB drives
for
a few years. We dropped from 42 arms down to 7 with these new drives,
etc, on our development lpar and got much better performance.

Re: New 520+ Shipment
I think 35gb would probably be considered the standard, but we only buy
them every 3 years or so!

It will be a 1 CPU 7143 520+ with 4GB Ram, 8 35gb drives, 1200/60 CPW. Pretty far down the food chain... ;)
is 35GB the standard size for hard drives now?
It will come in around either $60k or $80k after the added MES items depending on the disk controller approach we choose (5727 and 5776 in
CEC
or 5727 in CEC and 5580 in an 0595 expansion).
MES? CEC? Any idea how much higher the price is for a full speed ( 3800 CPW ) CPU?
The discount isn't spec'd yet, but should be in the 15%-18% range i'm guessing. As far as features, the worst part is having to add an expansion to
run the
2757/2780/5580 type controllers... this is a killer to the small
simple
system concept. The 800 we're upgrading from has the 2757 in the CEC
and
is fine. The current restrictions preventing the souped up
controllers in
the CEC is a very bad design IMO.
what do those controllers gain you? more cache? Does the disk controller affect CPW? good info. thanks. -Steve -- This is the Midrange Systems Technical Discussion (MIDRANGE-L) mailing list To post a message email: MIDRANGE-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-l or email: MIDRANGE-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l. ________________________________________________________________________ _____ Scanned by IBM Email Security Management Services powered by MessageLabs.
