I'm not trying to make it know the disk architecture, I just want it to evenly distribute amongst it's own dbvols. I already took care of distributing the dbvols across disks. I agree that the raid1+0 route would be best in a perfect world, but I don't have enough drive bays to do that for dbvols and still have room left for cachevol disks.
It just didn't make sense to me that you give tsm 4 dbvols (the logical files), and it puts 80% of its info into 1 of them instead of 25% in each. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 11/30/2005 1:16:31 PM >>> On Nov 30, 2005, at 11:05 AM, Troy Frank wrote: > ...Is there some way to force tsm to evenly > distribute the info, ... Troy - An application is best kept ignorant of specific disk architectures upon which it is situated. The way to attain your goal is via disk striping. We are using RAID 1+0 (mirrored & striped) for the TSM database, and enjoy relative security and performance.
