Re: STRASPBAL on guested partitions

Sue,

I'm curious, from a stand point of partition performance....

Does it matter if you have a single large virtual disk vs. multiple
smaller ones?

It would seem to me that the guested OS would benefit from having
access to multiple disks, given the OS's proclivity to RAID 0. Unless
the host OS ended up putting all the smaller disks onto a smaller set
of physical disks?

Well, I found out, using IBM Director that if the first
one is over 90% used that it likes to alert people.

Rob, I'm sure this is because of the ASP threshold set in either
Director or in IBM i.

ASP balancing does work from a GBs or *CAPACITY perspective, but
none of the other ASPBAL options will do anything with virtual
disks.
