AIX: mklv LVNAME (after adding hdisks and volume groups if necessary, use smit if necessary) 2. TSM: def dbvol /dev/rLVNAME (repeat #1 & #2 as needed, until enough extendable space exists to match allocated space on volume in #3) 3. TSM: del dbvol /path/volname And modify as appropriate for db mirror volumes.

Have approx 6gb database split into two volumes, each mirrored. Using standard filesystem based volumes. a few questions. 1. Is the performance increase worth the time and hastle to convert to raw volumes? 2. Can I mix and match? i.e. create a temp volume, delete dbvol1, create a raw volume in its place, then delete the ttemp volume to move the data back? 3. Just how do you specify the raw partition? Tried it before /dev/rdsk/c2t3d0 for example, but no joy. Thanks for any information you have. Gary Lee Senior Operating Systems Analyst Ball State University phone 765-285-1310
