<div><p>An auxiliary storage pool (ASP) is one or more physical disk units
assigned to the same storage area. ASPs allow you to isolate certain types
of objects on specified physical disk units.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The server ASP isolates server programs and the temporary objects
that are created as a result of processing by server programs. User ASPs can
be used to isolate some objects such as libraries, SQL objects, journals,
journal receivers, applications, and data. The <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span> supports
up to 32 basic user ASPs, and 223 independent user ASPs. Isolating libraries
or objects in a user ASP protects them from disk failures in other ASPs and
reduces recovery time.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>In addition to reduced recovery time and isolation of objects,
placing objects in an ASP can improve performance. If a journal receiver is
isolated in a user ASP, the disks associated with that ASP are dedicated to
that receiver. In an environment that requires many read and
write operations to the database files, this can reduce arm contention on
the disks in that ASP, and can improve journaling performance.</p>
