I've been in meetings/training this week about AIX LPM and other stuff related 
with LPARS.  We got talking about our TSM servers, and the IBM leader mentioned 
a presentation given a while ago at a IBM conference about using LARGE PAGES 
(16MB) with TSM to prevent lock contention.  This is supposed to help if you 
drive some large number of tape drives concurrently. He mentioned one company 
that implemented this and saw a 20% increase in tape throughput.

I'm curious if anyone out there has heard of this and possibly implemented 
large pages for TSM.

Thanks!

Rick
