This is my observation for File based stg pools so YMMV
For File based storage pools, TSM seems to create the files in a round robin fashion for each storage directory.

Anything past the initial client sessions, TSM is ignorant of the storage. It does not care where the data comes from, other process using the same location or files.

For single processes it doesn't matter but all bets are off for multi threads or proceses. So it is best to plan for worst case scenario eg all threads/proc/sessions hitting the same location.

So it's better to have a single location/directory/lun that is twice as fast, rather two locations.

Hello all!


Lets say, a tsm server has 1 storagepool, type disk. This stgp has 5
volumes. 3 of those reside on SAN1, and the 2 others on SAN2. Up to 65%
utilisation on the pool every day. Migration to tape runs properly, so all
5 volumes are empty.
Now I would like to understand, how tsm server decides usage of a stgp
volumes. Is it "round robin", or what ever.

Does anybody know the answer, or a place to read about?

TIA
