Haven't used 5.1 yet of either S/W. Yes, it will be busy but when you say not responding, what do you mean? It will be noticeably slow from OS level with some commands during build. (As was discussed here a month or so ago, when it is building the file, it is writing the pattern "ericericeric..." - yes the guys name over and over. Or maybe it had some uppercase, but anyhow.
David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/03/02 12:56PM >>> I am moving from an MVS server to an Aix server. When a do a "DEFINE VOL stgpool filename FORMAT=nnn" the Aix box stops responding until after the format is done. A monitor shows 100% i/o busy on the disk. Is this normal Aix behavior?
