  • Latest VxRx that'll run on a 170 ? 270 ?

    I am running a small 170 with V5R2. My only problem was that my 13GB cartridge tape drive was not supported, so I had to upgrade my tape drive. I do know that V5R3 still supports the 170 as well. Obviously, the 270 is also supported.

    Power5 will ONLY run i5/OS (V5R3). This is normal when IBM changes hardware technology.

      Look at Chapter 5 in the pdf at this link. I think it has the information you are looking for.V5R3 System Handbook

          We tested V5R3 on a model 170 and it runs fine (as long as you have sufficient memory being 256 MB or more).

            Does anybody know where I can find out what the latest release of OS/400 that is supported on a 170? I think I saw that V5R3 was still supported on the 170 but it was an "implication". Also, I presume that the new Power5 machines will only run V5R2 or V5R3 & above ?? TIA, Martin

              Thanks, Philip. Do you know if V4R2 will run on a 270 ? Or, put another way, what's the NEWEST machine that V4R2 will run on ?
