You don't want to create one big RAID-5 disk. If you plan to have say 100GB disk pool, I would create say 10 RAID-5 disks - unless the number and size of disk you have means you need bigger Raid arrays. Also create filesystems on separate disks (UNIX system?) for disk pool vols. Reason is for better performance of TSM with more disks.
David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/28/02 03:14PM >>> Since a RAID-5 array shows up as one big filesystem, what's the best strategy for determining how many and of what size disk pool volumes to create for your primary disk storage pool? For the most part I don't think it really matters unlike allocating volumes on individual disks but perhaps I'm not considering something. Thanks..
