Yes, but I find that TSMs bufferpool is alot better at managing the cache than AIXs VM. If we are talking about storagepools, I don't see the big benefit of maxpgahead since most data will only be read once and most reads will be big and sequitial AND will come as fast as the drive(s) can deliver them. -- Best Regards Emil S.
