LOL, there’s Crayfish making stupid comments again. The difference between me and Perryman is I tell the truth. IBM does offer multiple 9’s uptime. And numerous banks have the setup necessary. JP Morgan (a REAL bank) spends BILLIONS per year on IT.

Don't engage with him! There's no point in debating with a troll. Lately, he's been banging on about the 99.999999% availability on the z16. It's clear he's either deeply ignorant or gullible. In any case, it seems he missed the fine print: https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/0MZVKEYJ. (Who's willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to run a small Linux rack?) "DISCLAIMER: IBM internal data based on measurements and projections was used in calculating the expected value. Necessary components include IBM z16; IBM z/VM V7.2 systems collected in a Single System Image, each running RHOCP 4.10 or above; IBM Operations Manager; GDPS 4.5 for management of data recovery and virtual machine recovery across metro distance systems and storage, including Metro Multi-site workload and GDPS Global; and IBM DS8000 series storage with IBM HyperSwap. A MongoDB v4.2 workload was used. Necessary resiliency technology must be enabled, including z/VM Single System Image clustering, GDPS xDR Proxy for z/VM, and RedHat OpenShift Data Foundation (ODF) 4.10 for management of local storage devices. Application-induced outages are not included in the above measurements. Other configurations (hardware or software) may provide different availability characteristics." Could it be that Jon Perryman is actually Bill Johnson in disguise, using ChatGPT to compose his posts? Does he have a Linkedin profile where we can read he's credentials? > > On 8/26/2023 7:31 PM, David Spiegel wrote: >> Hi Jon, >> You said: "...The M in SMP/e stands for Maintenance ..." >> This statement has NEVER been true. >> The M is an abbreviation of Modification and it has ALWAYS been this >> way. >> >> Regards, >> David >> > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
