Uncover the basics of AS/400 disk storage. This redbook is designed
to help AS/400 system administrators and operators gain a broad
understanding of AS/400 disk storage, architecture, and management.
The technology covered in this redbook is based on current AS/400
system offerings, along with pertinent history, in contrast to newer
technology and methods.

This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 discusses hardware
architecture and components, while Part 2 discusses tools to manage
disk storage. You?ll gain a base understanding of AS/400 system
architecture and learn about the architecture of disk storage, disk
storage components, and disk storage options. You?ll also learn about
the storage features that are available to maximize the availability and
performance of the disk subsystem.

Plus, this redbook offers information on tools and tips to help the AS/400
system administrator and operator to better manage the AS/400 disk storage
subsystem space utilization, both historically and in real-time. Management
tips are based primarily on the software components offered with OS/400
V4R4.

Throughout this redbook, the term direct address storage drive (DASD) is
used.
 For the AS/400 system, DASD is another term for disk storage. We use these
two terms interchangeably.
