I have TSM Server 3.7.4.0 on AIX 4.3.3. I am going to be redoing my disk
storage for this machine and have basically two questions. if someone
knows the details of how this works.
1. The Disk Storage pool I have is 110GB. Most of the time it is between
20 and 70 percent full - mostly less than 50 percent. If I have this split
into say 10 volumes, each on a separate hard disk, does most of the
activity stay on the lower volumes and rarely on the higher ones?
Logically I see this as a coffee cup with a slow leak. The bottom is
almost always wet, the top rarely. Is my assumption correct?
Basically I would spread the volumes over the hard disks to even out disk
access.
2. Same basic question about TSM DB. It is 13GB and 65% utilized. I imagine
like a regular database it is spread out over the 13GB and has
more or less even access if spread out over several disks. Correct?
(With my current system the way everything is laid out now I can't use
things like "iostat" to prove/disprove this, and I didn't seem to find this
"specific" topic mentioned in manuals.)
Thanks,
