This is what it buys you:
1. I/O is better spread across multiple drive heads. Not so
important for writes, if you have a good-sized write-cache, but
especially helpful for reads. TSM does not do round-robin allocation
of DB pages across it's volumes. It fills up one, then works on the
next.
Just curious, and playing a little devils advocate, but does it buy
anything to mirror over raid5? Wouldn't it be more efficient (processor
on the san, and storage) just to put volumes out there and let TSM
manage them? You would want to have the mirrored volumes on separate
physical drives (pref

Gene - I seriously doubt that the problem has anything to do with

I believe there is still a reason to mirror at the TSM level. If you mirror
at the hardware level only and TSM writes a corrupt entry to the DB or log,
you are hosed since the hardware mirror will write it to both copies. If
TSM is doing the mirror, it can see that it had a problem writing to one

Ok, you checked the maxscratch, but what is the high water mark on your
log and db volumes (log especially). This one has bit me a few times.
'q log' and 'q db' should answer that. If they have hit 100% we have
probably hit paydirt. If not, then I home someone with more experience

Hi Everybody,
I've read the IBM site regarding the specs they recommend for a server for the

Hi,
When you set these things up, remember that the command is being passed
to a shell for execution, since most Unix shells do not like a space
between a redirection operator and a filename, the command is probably
failing. You should find the failure logged on the client in tsm home
area.
