Regard, Karel -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: Amar Vi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: donderdag 19 februari 2004 17:25 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: Dsmfmt on cx600 any thoughts? Greetings, We have serious performance issue for dsmfmt command. We are getting 45MB/sec write speed on AIX4.3.3 box connected to CX600 ATA RAID5 4+1 disk group.But when we use dsmfmt it gives 9 to 16 MB/sec. Which is very sluggish to format 16 TB storage for storage pools. Does anybody have information on how dsmfmt works? or how to speed up so that it will give better I/O on SAN storage?
