Thank you very much, that's our next approach as we did try 2x600 LV's with better success.

I am no expert, but I think there is something weird about TSM's handling of large raw lv's that introduces a serialized step (not sure exactly, but it seemed to really bottleneck after I added two large lv's...when I split them, things were fixed without changing any hardware/raid settings).

The TSM Server is being presented as 600GB SATA Chunks Our Aix Admin has put a Raw logical over two 600GB Chunks to create a 1.2TB Raw Logical Volume Right now we are seeing Tape migrations @ about 4GB in 6hrs, where before on EMC Symetrix disk we saw 29-40GB per hour. If anyone would like to share their TSM SATA Diskpool layout and or tips we would much appreciate it!!!
