With the exception of the folks at Palo Alto (AWD Support for AOS), most of the IBMers that post on this forum are nice guys from the Research Division. I'm in the Marketing Division and support customers running AIX in commercial environments. As we all know, IBM Marketing is slowly catching on to the RT as a real system. Please use your local branch office as a resource for questions as much as possible. This is the only way they will build the expertise so that they can answer your questions in the future. Preach off. The RPQ for 115/125/B25 upgrade to a 130/135/B35 is RPQ Number 8A0168. In order to apply this RPQ, you must have (1) a 115/125/B25 system (2) a supported system display and adapter (3) AFPA Level 2 (open it up, high order bar code A1206 or higher) (4) IBM EESDI P/N 22F9727 or 30F8821 or F/C 3506 (Port. Disk). [older adapters may be used but with performance degradation] (5) AIX 2.2 or equivalent What you get: Processor card with 16MB memory What you do: Take out old processor card & memory. They're yours to keep. Put in new card. This is a NON-STANDARD RPQ. Upgrades must be approved by Austin. Discounts may apply, contact your local IBM Branch Office. Cost: $17,140.
