Hiya,

I'm running TSM server 4.2.1.15 under Solaris 2.8/8/5.8, using
Veritas Volume Manager RAID5 raw devices for disk storage
pools. This works great, and the I/O rate sustained is
impressive. However, I've noticed that about ~15% of the
writes result in read-modify-write operations. I was
wondering what write-size TSM uses for disk storage pool
volumes so I can tune the stripe size and eliminate that
overhead.

Cheers,
Paul Ripke
