John,
You should be able to tune the SCSI device queue depth; I’ve done this on HP-UX and Solaris systems, but haven’t had to under AIX yet. I don’t have an AIX system handy to verify this, but I’m 90% sure you can do it. AIX also supports async I/O where HP-UX doesn’t (not sure about Sun), which is a big win in an Oracle environment.

vs Solaris
We had an aix box and ended sending
it back and going with sun - only because we had a hitachi san and there seems
to be a bug between ibm and hitachi - something about depth
queue.

Hello,
What are the major differences between AIX and
Solaris regarding
operating system features?
We are planning a new
machine purchase; currently we are on a Sun machine
running Solaris, but IBM
is making a strong proposal to management
(meaning significantly less cost),
and we are wondering what would need to be
changed. We use korn shell scripts
extensively, and features such as
crontab, background processing, the sqlplus
<<EOF ... EOF construct (not
sure what this is called). I'm fairly sure
these are standard in most
flavors of unix, but I have never had contact with
AIX. Does anyone know
what features differ between the two OS's?
If we
went with Solaris, we would go with Solaris 9 running Oracle 9.2
on a Sun
4800.
Thanks for any responders.
