Hello,

I have just added fibre channel disk to our one AIX server.  Here are the
LUN's that were added to filesystem /tsmdev/stgpool1

CHRS044     /tsmdev/stgpool1

lun 175           100 GB
lun 178           100 GB
lun 181           100 GB
lun 184           100 GB
lun 187           100 GB
lun 190           100 GB
lun 193           100 GB
lun 199           100 GB
lun 204           100 GB
lun 210           100 GB

Total       1000 GB

What would be the best TSM volume configuration be?  I have 5 different
random disk storage pools where the data resides for 24 hours before being
swept to tape.  Would I create 10 storage pool volumes and put the
appropriate number of volumes/storage pool?  Or can I have more than 1 TSM
volume per physical volume?

Thank you in advance!

I'm really trying to get the best performance and I'm hoping to configure
this disk properly the first time.
