So, does that mean you did put a partition on the volume?  It's not really

To be able to use striping, you need more than one virtual disk/minidisk.  
Mod-54s sounds like you're planning on a lot of data.  SCSI over FCP should be 
considered at that point.

If you're running on z/VM (and you are), you have PAV support in your software.

No.

I wouldn't do that.  You have a problem somewhere else, but doing that isn't 
going to help (I believe).
