<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>
