Stripe size is very hardware dependent.

Subject: What stripe size to use for TSM DB, LOG


Dear all,

>From a previous threat I learned, that TSM fills a DB volume an than goes to
the next one. Same is true for the LOG volumes - no "load balancing" like on
STG Volumes via client sessions.

In this case (DB & LOG) I plan to use AIX LVM to stripe the logical volumes
over the available physical disks. The question here is what stripe size
should I use? Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance!!!

Timo
