Our experience running Cloverleaf on AIX is that it is very stable and can run indefinetly. I was very apprehensive about moving to our SAN because now we depend on hardware outside of the interface team’s control. And I was right.
We have had to bring the box down on various occasions due to “SAN maintenance”.
The upside to the SAN is that it is fast, fast, fast.
And almost unlimited space if need be.
We’ve never swapped and doubt we would. One reason being that you’d need to use a new license key, etc., etc.
