I guess with the rumor conversion to DB2, it would no longer be feasible
to place the database on JBOD mirror by TSM. The recommendation may be
RAID 5 or 6 storage with fibre channel disks and not SATA disks. Am I
close?

What I'm interested in on the upgrade to DB2 is the disk requirements.
Will it . . .
- upgrade in place right over top of the existing TSM db? Using same
files or Raw volumes?
- require a all new disk (leaves old TSM db alone while it creates new
DB2 db)?
- Use/recommend raw vs filesystems ( we currently use raw logical
volumes)?
Lots of stuff to look forward to!

They told us the same, but that if you had 5.4, the upgrade process
would
magically take it to 5.5 and thence to 6.1 under the covers.
