I am admiring my new POWER6 machine and it's speed. I went to DSPSYSSTS to
review disk and memory to see that I had values according to what I ordered
and it appears something might be wrong. I ordered 4 drives instead of 2
because I was told the I/O would become much more efficient. I assumed that
would mean the drives wouldn't be mirrored (i.e. my disk space halved) and
instead it would be as if I had 1/4 of the space of four drives because of
how the data is spread across the drives. So I have 4 139GB drives and was
expecting to see 139GB in System ASP but am instead seeing 279.1GB (see
below screen shot). Am I missing something? Also, I ordered 4GB of memory
but I only see 3.5GB. I know memory is never exactly on the mark, but being
off by 512MB seems odd. Thoughts?
