Is there really a need to run it on a JFS filesystem? We run our on SSA disk with RAW partitions and it screams...

There were issues with 5.2 for 64 bit ,but for 5.1 that is not so. Did you migrate to 5.1 from 433 ? What is the Raid Level set? Can you pass on details ?

If things grind to a halt, it is probably, simply due to the I/O to the drive/raid array/filesystem Dwight "Ochs, Duane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] M> cc: Sent by: "ADSM: Subject: DSMFMT takes forever ( 15 hours). 100 gb Dist Stor Manager" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] .EDU> 09/03/2003 11:22 AM Please respond to "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" 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.
