Hi Stefan, I assume with diskpool you mean primary pools devicetype disk. Create a filepool on the internal disks and measure performance against it. If this is as expected, the internal RAID-controller honors the O_SYNC-writes TSM uses for diskpools and in this case the cache of the

Thanks Michael, so the use of the filepool storagepool type does not set the O_SYNC flag (and therefor uses the cache on the raid controller) but a normal diskpool does (and therefor doesn't use the cache)? On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 11:45 AM, Michael Prix m...@rs6000.darktech.orgwrote: Hi

Stefan, It may be that all (or an unintended mixed subset(i.e. 1 log, 2 DB and 3 STGPOOL disks) of the disks are on a single I/O channel resulting in a bottleneck on the data path. This would be reflected by high IO (combined DB,LOG and STGPOOL activity) during a backup to disk while
