• The On-Line Disk Arm Calculator (ODAC) is an easy-to-use "advisor". Based on your
input to a few questions, ODAC quickly gives you advice on the number of disk drives
required for a specific iSeries or AS/400e configuration. ODAC frees you from manual
calculations to determine the right balance between storage capacity and number of
storage devices. ODAC helps you optimize performance for your particular system. It
proactively helps you avoid potential bottlenecks that can be triggered by a
configuration with too few disk arms. Print the results and use that information as input
to the configurator to prepare for system upgrades. ODAC is available world-wide.
Note: ODAC results are a guideline. Such factors as the amount of memory can cause
variations in the appropriate number of disk required for particular system configurations.
The ODAC is available at:
• Simplification of select software upgrades using the Software Upgrade Assistant
(SUA), a Web-based utility. This allows eligible customers and business partners to
order version/release upgrades directly based on software subscriptions.
Note: SUA is English only. The availability of this service may vary by geography.
