I can remember the day when a weekly IPL was almost mandatory. But that was long ago.
I believe the current technology is to schedule an IPL to implement z/os software changes. If there are no changes, then no IPL. You may run into misbehaving applications that suffer from storage creep, or you may need to reclaim ASID's marked unusable. I think we ran for over a year once with no noticeable issues. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tommy Tsui Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 8:09 PM To: [email protected] Subject: How often IPL a production LPAR (any good practice) Hi all, Is there any concern if we didn't IPL a LPAR over three months. Is there any good practise to follow from IBM. They always replied LPAR never needs IPL because of 24 x 7.
