<h1 class="topictitle1">Use disk pools for improved performance</h1>
|
|
<div><p>If you are using user disk pools for better system performance, consider
|
|
dedicating a disk pool to one object that is very active. In this case, you
|
|
can configure the disk pool with only one disk unit.</p>
|
|
<p>However, it typically does not improve performance to place a single device
|
|
parity-protected unit in a user disk pool because the performance of that
|
|
unit is affected by other disk units in the device parity set.</p>
|
|
<p>Allocating one user disk pool exclusively for journal receivers that are
|
|
attached to the same journal can improve journaling performance. By having
|
|
the journal and journaled objects in a separate disk pool from the attached
|
|
journal receivers, there is no contention for journal receiver write operations.
|
|
The units that are associated with the disk pool do not have to be repositioned
|
|
before each read or write operation.</p>
|
|
<p>The system spreads journal receivers across multiple disk units to improve
|
|
performance. The journal receiver may be placed on up to ten disk units in
|
|
a disk pool. If you specify the RCVSIZOPT(*MAXOPT1) or (*MAXOPT2) journal
|
|
option, then the system may place the journal receiver on up to 100 disk units
|
|
in a disk pool. If you add more disk units to the disk pool while the system
|
|
is active, the system determines whether to use the new disk units for journal
|
|
receivers the next time the change journal function is performed.</p>
|
|
<p>Another way to improve performance is to make sure there are enough storage
|
|
units in the user disk pool to support the number of physical input and output
|
|
operations that are done against the objects in the user disk pool. You might
|
|
have to experiment by moving objects to a different user disk pool and then
|
|
monitoring performance in the disk pool to see if the storage units are used
|
|
excessively. For more information about working with disk status (WRKDSKSTS
|
|
command) to determine if the storage units have excessive use, see <a href="../rzaks/rzaks1.htm">Work Management</a>. If the units
|
|
have excessive use, you should consider adding more disk units to the user
|
|
disk pool.</p>
