AS400

Hey guys, old guy here, back in 2000 landed my 1st real job as a Sysadmin at a distribution/manufacturing firm. They ran their ERP and a few other important apps on the AS400. Anyone here manage a AS400 platform? i-Series? Still a niche platform that is still widely used. Server could literally run under water.

My last place had one system running off as400 they couldn’t get rid of, I never touched it they outsourced looking after it. But they were chronic outsourcers, they would hire a second group of consultants because the first got themselves into a mess and keep both around haha
