Haven't used 5.1 yet of either S/W.  Yes, it will be busy but
when you say not responding, what do you mean?  It will be
noticeably slow from OS level with some commands during build.
(As was discussed here a month or so ago, when it is building
the file, it is writing the pattern "ericericeric..." - yes the guys name
over and over.  Or maybe it had some uppercase, but anyhow.

I am moving from an MVS server to an Aix server.  When a do a "DEFINE
VOL stgpool filename FORMAT=nnn" the Aix box stops responding until
after the format is done.  A monitor shows 100% i/o busy on the disk.
Is this normal Aix behavior?

TSM server = 5.1.1
Aix = 5.1
Disk = SSA Raid 5
