You can programmatically run TRCASPBAL followed by STRASPBAL, if you
want. I include a sample program in my presentations on SSD. URL
www.ibm.com/support/techdocs and then search on my name to find the most
recent version of the presentation.
Most people I talk with that wish to use balancing will trace during
specific time periods each day and then run the STRASPBAL on Saturday or
Sunday to move the data.
I know vendor plugs are frowned upon, but I would be remiss if I didn't
offer the information that there is an IBM Power Systems Lab Services
offering to discuss with you your performance challenges, analyze your
data, and finally make recommendations on what data to flag as resident
on SSD.
