We're getting ready to configure a test ADSM/6000 configuration and we've got
a couple of questions.
ADSM/6000 allows you to define the various disk resources (log,database,
repositories) either as a complete AIX logical volume or as an AIX file.
Is there any reason to prefer one over the other - performance,
maintainability,
flexibility, reliability, etc?
We plan to use disk mirroring on separate physical devices. Is there any reason
to place the mirror volumes on a different SCSI channel from the primaries?
The ADSM planning documentation recommended separate channels for our VM
configuration as it allows database updates to keep going on even if we have
a channel failure. However, it's not clear to me if this recommendation
migrates to the RS/6000 platform as well. Anyone have any insight? Thanks.
