We have a 3466 C00 (AIX 4.3.3 TSM 4.1.0) using approx. 144gb of SSA disk for our db, logs, and several disk pools. We have reached a point of needing to add more disk for the db and pools, but because of budget cuts, the $$ for additional SSA disks is not looking good. It is time for us to consider using other types of direct attached disk for this system. Currently, we are not raid-ing the disk pool at all, and using tsm mirroring for the db. Can I get some feedback from those with experience using other vendor's disk systems on an AIX box. Cost, reliability, speed are of course the important metrics. I do understand that hooking up non-SSA disk probably means decoupling the 3466 and turning it into a standalone rs6k box. Anyone with tips on that path would also be appreciated.
