Hi Frank,
simply: yes.
There is the possibility to use raw-volumes (logical volumes without
filesystems),
see the docs.
Some enhancements to your (my) procedure:
- use jfs2 (gives you some additional space)
- after defining the volume in TSM, the TSM server uses direct IO (dio).
- dsmfmt -data ... works on AIX-Command-Line, so
BEFORE dsmfmt change the filesystem to use dio
(chfs -a options=dio[,other_options] /Filesystem ; umount ; mount)
(without dio the lrud -last recent use daemon, the
Filesystem-Cache-Administrator- runs 'amok',
if you format more than ? GB/ ??? MB (depends on your Memory))
I found out the above AFTER setting up two new TSM servers, formatting ca.
300GB
log -, database- and diskpool volumes ;-(((
