​The PowerHA Full System FlashCopy (FSFC) for IBM i was created to automate performing backups with minimal impact to a production LPAR. With this toolkit, a full system backup in restricted state can be performed with the users experiencing a pause for (typically) less than 30 seconds. This is achieved using a combination of the HMC to manage the partitions, the ability of IBM i to pause database transactions on a commit boundary, and the FlashCopy function of external storage to create a copy of the production LPAR, from which the backups are taken. This toolkit is provided with services from IBM Technology Expert Labs which includes implementation, customization, skills transfer and support.
The Full System Copy Services Manager (FSFC) for IBM i is unique as it does not require an IASP, but instead Flashes the system ASP. This powerful and flexible toolkit provides additional functions to assist with automation and management of FlashCopy via a set of commands you can use to create a “point in time” copy of a full system for the purposes of performing backups. Read More

​John Rockwell, the driving force behind the ALL400S survey, was close to giving it up. Fewer and fewer people were taking the survey, and so he started telling people this would probably be his last go around. Turns out, that notice may have helped to spur a surge of interest in the survey, which is now underway. And now he’s taking the survey international, too.
Rockwell, an independent, semi-retired IBM i programmer from Florida has been trying to accumulate a list of every IBM i shop on the planet. He shares this work openly through his ALL400s website and the …
