I'm about to do a disk reorg as a part of installing some new disk
drives, and I'm trying to get the best Database performance. The system
is TSM 4.2.1.09 on AIX 4.3.3.09. The processor is slow, but the new
disks are fast SSA disks.

What are the pros and cons of

Using AIX disk striping

           versus

Having multiple TSM Database extents

...and...

AIX JFS Mirroring

     versus

TSM Database/Log Mirroring

...and...

AIX JFS extents for DB and Log

      versus

Raw extents

Short of conducting some rather painstaking tests using my new disks,
(35gb Database) I really have little informaiton regarding the
performance aspects of these choices.
