Hi Roger! This has been discussed on this list before. The general opinion was to let TSM do the work load balancing. So create multiple volumes and add them to your diskpool. Database and Recovery log mirroring was also discussed. I believe TSM mirroring was slightly faster than AIX mirroring. Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

I am trying to weigh the benefits of two alternatives for TSM disk areas: I could allocate them using AIX Striping, or I could just allocate separate areas and let the TSM server divide the I/O between them. Which is better? Are there performance/recoverability tradeoffs? Are the answers different for the Database, Log, and Storage Pool?
