Hi everyone (espicially if you have an AS400),
We are a coexistance site with a single CPU S30 2257 AS400. We wanted to
upgrade this AS400 and add an extra CPU as our OW load is coming on but we
got told that CPU upgrades aren't available for an S30 anymore. IBM don't
supply them as the marketing life of the machine is over. A 7xx or 8xx
model was recommended.
Has anyone else had this happen with an AS400. This box was bought in 1998
and was top of the line then. It's really a big surprise to know that a box
replacement is necessary. Is this normal?
thanks for any thoughts,
Lerwick :-(
