Does anyone know of or had problems with formatting additional space for diskpools ?
TSM server : AIX 5.1 ML3 64-bit enabled. 2GB memory 2 cpu H80
Disk type : 6 member raid set about 700 GB
JFS2
Trying to format 100gb diskpool. Each time I have tried it brings the TSM server to almost a stand still. TSM is up on the box but nothing is running during 8 hours of the format. Should be more than enough time to format 100gb of space.
Any ideas ?
possibly, you have a filesystem of lvm blocksize smaller than the raid-strip size, this especially a problem with the ssa raid adpaters (those suck big time IMNSHO) Using a huge blocksize helps....
