Hello,
We recently acquired an IBM I5 server model E4a with lots of memory and disk. It is running V5R4. The previous system was an Iseries . I don't remember the model but it was 5 years old, slower and with a lot less memory and disk.
We store documents in the ifs . On the Iseries, opening and saving documents to the IFS was very fast. On the I5 server it is very sluggish. Most times it times out. My tests were done with file sizes less then 1 meg is size.
Both the I5 and Iseries are connected to the LAN at 100M full duplex.
Has anybody seen this?
Thanks
I changed my LIND on the server to 1G full-Duplex and also change the port speed on my Switch. Performance has been stellar since this change. Before this change, the performance on batch jobs, 5250 sessions and ODBC connections was stellar. The performance after this change is stellar on all fronts.
Before making this change, I have verified that the LIND settings for the link speed matched the speed set on the port the server was connected to. Both were set at 100M Full Duplex.
I will revert back to 100M Fullduplex on both my LIND and the switch tonight and update this note tomorrow. But for now, changing the link speed to 1G full Duplex on the LIND and the port on the switch resolved all issues.
