Kuli,

   We spread our ADSM data base across several volume under ADSM version 2 and
did notice a performance improvement. I am not sure how much of an improvement
you would see under version 3. Feel free to contact me
via e-mail directly at Brian_Nick AT phl DOT com or by phone at (860)403-2281.

 Brian.

Subject:  A question on Databases.




Hello,

I have a question on databases and the defining of database volumes in the
os390 environment.

is it better to define several small database volumes on different
physical DASD(disk) volumes rather than one big database volume on one DASD
volume?.
I would have thought that spreading the database volumes across different
physial DASD volumes would be better. Does any one have any input on this?

Thanks,

Kuli.
