I guess with the rumor conversion to DB2, it would no longer be feasible to place the database on JBOD mirror by TSM. The recommendation may be RAID 5 or 6 storage with fibre channel disks and not SATA disks. Am I close?

Will it . . . - upgrade in place right over top of the existing TSM db? Using same files or Raw volumes? - require a all new disk (leaves old TSM db alone while it creates new DB2 db)? - Use/recommend raw vs filesystems ( we currently use raw logical volumes)? Lots of stuff to look forward to!
