The "pre" meeting (starting 5:00 P.M. - registration at 4:45)
"It's About Time" - The new time support in OS/400 V5R3
Come hear Al Barsa discuss the newly added time support for OS/400 in V5R3. Topics will
include automated changes, automatic transformation of the system internal clock from local
time to UTC (with no change to your your normal operations), multiple time zone support,
automated daylight savings time and other time adjustments.
This is the first of two stages of enhancement to time support, with a later stage occurring
in a subsequent release.
The "regular" meeting (after-dinner topics)
LPAR A-to-Z
LPAR A 2 Z, hopefully the name says it all. LPAR stands for Logical
Partitioning. It's the process whereby you take a
single iSeries server and logically (and to some degree physically) carve
it up into multiple iSeries servers, (called partitions)
some of which could be Linux or even AIX (Power5 only).
First I go into the
reasons and advantages of why you might want to
get 'many from one', and once I've sold you on the concept I'll show you
how easy it is to accomplish. All my examples
are on a new Power5 520, but the process applies to almost all supported
iSeries models, even uni processors.
At the end of the presentation I'll show you a movie I made where I run a
partition on my 520 at 1,000 percent busy,
neat but not gaudy.
