yes, you can have more than one tsm volume per physical volume. the smaller the allocation, the more volumes, which gives to flexibility to assign them per the needs of the storage pool rather than simply give two to each.
we just define them to a storage group per demand. but once define and allocated to a storage pool, if you need to adjust, you have to remove it from the storage pool and redefine / reformat to reallocate >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/17/2005 3:27:57 PM >>> Hello, I have just added fibre channel disk to our one AIX server.

I have 5 different random disk storage pools where the data resides for 24 hours before being swept to tape. Would I create 10 storage pool volumes and put the appropriate number of volumes/storage pool? Or can I have more than 1 TSM volume per physical volume? Thank you in advance! I'm really trying to get the best performance and I'm hoping to configure this disk properly the first time.
