The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Pete is exactly correct here. The four core POWER6 unit that I have in
a mobile rack (currently on it's way to COMMON) is a perfect example. It
has the very last generation of IOPless large cache SCSI controllers one
for 12 drives in an 0595 and and 24 drives in an EXP24. With VIOS as
the host those disks crawled. Loading partitions on it was slow.
Performance was reasonable running on it because of sufficient arms and
little write activity.
Reloading to IBM i 7.1 as the host they do Scream. Remember IBM i hosted
disks get formatted with CRTNWSSTG not when you add to the ASP so that
right there saves an hour per LPAR when building and everything is
quicker all around.
Remember that VIOS is based on AIX and they never did the amount of
internal disk work that IBM i has done. As a consequence drivers and
performance of internal disk was never a focus for them, they just go SAN.
