It seems I may have introduced a bottleneck on my server by switching to
"mirrorwrite db parrallel" and addig dbpageshadow.  The default
dbpageshadow file goes in with /usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin, which is on
my root vg (AIX server, 4.3.3 ML08).  It is mirrored SCSI disks.  I
noticed last night that hdisk0 and hdisk1 are getting hammered, with
little or no paging.  The manual seems unclear whether I can specify a
path before the filename or not.  Also, I am unsure whether the file is
needed in a disaster recovery scenario, when I have to restore my
database.  My gut says no, but I am not sure.  Any ideas?  What are
other people doing?  Thanks.
