An FYI Here. A big problem with the performance of much internal disk hosted by VIOS was due to the block sizes and IBM i's need for those extra 8 bytes (512 to 520.) With current updates to VIOS and current PTFs to IBM i this issue has (FINALLY) been resolved for decent performance. And the fix is actually pretty darn intelligent!

However you will *N*E*V*E*R* get me to use VIOS on internal disk to host IBM i partitions again. Ever. Got the crit-sits to back that up.

VIOS for SAN disk, WHOLE different ballgame, no issue there.

+1 on that. Internal VIOS hosted disk was poor to abysmal. Switching to
IBM i hosting to other IBM i and AIX was much better. VIOS is better
suited to serving up SAN disk, tape, ethernet.
