It is allowed.  It was recommended to us.  We use it here on our AIX

Is aio suggested/recommended/allowed on AIX? Is anyone
using it? Does it help? My current tsm server is AIX
5.2-ML2, 2GB core, lots of ssa disk (though I've requested
more to increase the local storage pool to the size of the
nightly incremental backups), and four fiber connections
directly to tape drives (3590?).
