With 32 disks seen by AIX and no more than 6 nodes backing up at
once (any with more than one session?), you should have great
performance!

Hi all,
Just wanted to sanity check my disk storage pool layout I'm planning.
AIX 4.3.3
Server H80
2 x D40 SSA drawers, two loops over two SSA 160 adapters
32 x 9Gb SSA disks
Max nodes backing up at any one time is approx 6
I don't want to mirror the volumes
32 x 9Gb logical volumes, each logical volume on one SSA disk. These lvs
will then translate into 32 disk storage pool volumes. This way if I have a
disk failure I only lose one disk pool volume.
Anyone got any ideas what kind of read/write performance I should expect to
see from this config?
Any other options considered.
Regards
Chris
