Hiya,

I've been reading about using RAW volumes for database and diskpool volumes, my 
impression is that when running AIX and using JFS the benefits are trivial. 
However I've seen people talking about 200-300% performance increase when 
running TSM on Solaris.  

What I am wondering is if anyone has actually done experiments with this on AIX 
on a real environment, i.e. performance check using JFS on one hand and then 
RAW volumes on the other?



thanks,
