RE: Size of Network Storage Server Spaces for Guested i's -- MIDRANGE-L

Interesting....

My guess...

One large storage space would be ok....but adding a more spaces of dissimilar size may cause issues.

So, it's best to simply have multiple smaller ones from the beginning.

But I'm with Chuck, give IBM a call back to see what they say.

WRKDSKSTS
Size %
Unit Type (M) Used
1 6B22 233020 98.7
2 6B22 93212 29.2

Gee, I even did the Add and balance when I went into SST and added the
second drive.
Should I run the
STRASPBAL TYPE(*CAPACITY)
or the
TRCASP and STRASPBAL TYPE(*USAGE)

I am wondering if what you said is true also, but I'd like the hear the
thunder of God in the background when I'm told that.

Rob,

I know nothing about guested LPAR's....

But does each storage space appear to the guested LPAR as a disk unit?

I'm wondering if something deep in the (guested) OS performs better when
it thinks it has multiple
disks to work with.

V6R1.
I have a 9408-M25 with two partitions. One is the new guested type. I
originally created one 250GB storage space and must have underestimated
something wrongly because the full system restore blew up because of
space. I added another 100GB storage space and now it seems to be ok.
When talking to IBM they said I should have made my storage spaces

smaller

but create more of them. I forgot to ask them why. Why should I make
more, smaller ones?
