Yes, RLV will increase performance. By how much, I cannot quantify that. I use RLVs for any large TSM implementation on AIX.

I will have my SSA disks replaced in the near future. I'm currently using the following configuration: 8 SSA disks (9 Gb. each): 2 disk AIX mirrored, containing the database and recovery log and 6 disks for the diskpool, all on JFS filesystems. The SSA disks will be replace by 36 Gb. 10.000 rpm disks. What if I put them on raw logical volumes? Will this improve performance? If so, how much? Are there any downsides? Thanks in advance for any reply!!
