In my opinion, this is the best reason for using raw logical volumes. To speed up disaster recovery. You do not need to spend time with dsmfmt.
Another speed-up trick at a disaster recovery site is to come up with a very small recovery log, say 100MB instead of 5GB or even 13GB. The recovery log needs to be formatted again (twice, I think) even if using raw logical volumes. As the recovery goes on, you can later add more recovery log space when time is not so critical. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph Dawes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2002 8:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: raw logical volumes Has anyone ever used raw logical volumes for the db when at D.R. ? and does this cut out having to do dsmfmt? are there any drawbacks or benefits drom doing this?
