Hi,
We are redefining our TSM disk pools on IBM ESS storage. We got 39 x 24 GB
LUNs from our storage collegues. Total 936GB.
LUNs are spread across the whole ESS. Now what is the best way, TSM wise and
performance wise to define these disks to TSM?
Make the volumes as large as possible?
or
Hi
I would suggest having as much volumes as possible. This is because AIX
treats every volume as a PV, and one PV can only do one write or read at a
time.
So, using 24GB volumes is probably the best way to go. Also, JFS
formatted volumes is the way to go.

Why would you prefer JFS volumes? I use raw and find it a bit better
