Daily news about IBM Power Servers

In this post I explain how date and time management works on an AIX, VIOS, and IBMi LPARs. Setting the time is usually one-time operation, we often take it for granted, as long as everything works well. However, when issues arise, it can become quite puzzling.

For many years, entry and midrange AS/400 line was manufactured in three plants: the main factory in Rochester, Minnesota for the market in Canada and the United States and for certain high end machines in Europe, as well as Santa Palombo outside of Milan, Italy for entry … The post IBM Switches To Build To Order For Entry Power Systems appeared first on IT Jungle.

In last week’s issue, we talked about the upgrade cycle for the IBM i operating systems over more than a decade based on the annual IBM i Marketplace Survey done by Fortra and pretty heavily massaged by us to reflect what we think is closer to reality for the IBM i market at large. No matter if you look at the raw data from the survey or the more elaborate model we have built derived from the past eleven surveys, one thing is clear: There is a regular pattern for Power Systems upgrades among OS/400, i5/OS, and IBM i shops … The post State Of The Power Systems Base 2025: The Systems appeared first on IT Jungle.

When Big Blue makes big announcements, we break them down and analyze them uniquely. But there are often a lot of little things that happen over the course of a few weeks, and we like to lump these together and give you the rundown. That way you are informed, but you can skim it. So let’s take a look the things related to Power Systems and IBM i that have happened in the past few weeks since we last did this. Let’s start with a few price changes. In announcement letter AD25-0140, dated February 3 and effective on March … The post IBM Announcements: Service Price Hikes, HANA Iron As A Service, Rust for AIX And Maybe PASE, And More. . . appeared first on IT Jungle.

We assume that the operating system and hardware levels of the laggards are four or five years back from the current leaders; so, in plain English American, we take the data for the leaders four or five years ago (the difference depends on when operating system releases go off extended support and how old the iron is we think they are running upon) and apply it to three-fourth of the installed base of iron that we think represents the laggards. Here is what the operating system installed base by release levels looks like from the surveys running from 2021 through 2025, inclusive:
