Howdy,
I had not heard of this command on the iSeries and I agree that it has
questionable value compared to the load balancing that the system does,
but what the heck, it's saturday so I ran it <vbg>
We have a small 170 with 8gx9 RAIDed where drive 1 is at 27% and all the
others were at 13.x%, after running STRDSKRGZ drive 1 is still 27%,
drive 4 is now 5.5% and all others are at 14.6%.
What is going to happen (I think) is that this coming week all new
activity will be written to drive 5 until it reaches the same 14.6% as
the others so I have in effect created a disk arm bottle neck!
Oops,
J. Kilgore

STRDSKRGZ will not do what you want. What it does is essentially "defrags"
your disks. Sounds worthless to me, as I have heard that it apparently did
to IBM, but customers kept asking for it, so IBM provided it. "Always keep
the customer satisfied."
