I recently gave a presentation at an i-UG event in England on some of the new features in IBM i v7.2. In an attempt to make it a little more fun (and in tribute to Friday nights as a young lad), I delivered this in the style of a Top of the Pops-type countdown. If […]

IBM i 7.2: How to look into the future with Batch Model

Continuing my recent system performance theme, the next IBM i 7.2 function I’d like to discuss is called Batch Model. Perhaps not the most descriptive of names but, mercifully, it is short.

How to make IBM i work with VLANs

June 28, 2014 by Glenn Robinson

Prior to its 7.2 version, IBM i had no concept of VLANs. They had to be managed externally. However, I am going to show you how to get IBM i to cooperate in a VLAN environment pre-v7.2. I am also going to demonstrate how simple it is to set up a v7.2 IP interface to […]
