We currently have a 2 node enterprise configuration but are thinking of increasing this. We can create as many file systems as required with each file system being allocated as much disc storage as required. Below is our current AIX server configuration. what is the optimum node and resource disk co...

Is it the case that If the resource disks allocated to the 4 nodes will not be the same as the original disks allocated to the 2 node configuration .

Then there will be orphan data files and the dataset utility can identify these files for deletion?

I take it that after the job has run with the new config file, the header component will point to the new 4 partitions of data. It will no longer reference the original 2 partitions of data.

Therefore does the dataset utility easily identify these orphaned data partitions?

Given the scenario of a dataset being defined as 'overwrite' in a job using 2 nodes and each node had a seperate disk resource file system. If the nodes was increased to 4 nodes with each node having seperate disk resource file systems, would the file be seamlessly re-created across the 4 file syste...

Problem description we configured datastage to use RAM disk when using the scratch pad resource, please see config file below:- node "node1" { fastname "cb17biretlprd" pools "" resource disk "/opt/dstransfer/Datasets" {pools ""} resource scratchdisk ...

Is there an option for orchadmin whereby the descriptor file remains in the same file location but the data segments are moved to the locations specified in the config file?

Currently all our data segment files for datasets reside on the same file system. I would like to spread the segment files across a number of file systems to reduce the I/O bottleneck but have the file descriptor remain on the current file system.

What is the best method of achieving this?

Does the config file node 'dataset' file system only relate to where new data files should be located?

Therefore is it the case that the location of existing data files would be derived from the decriptor file without any reference to the config file?

Does having the dataset descriptor file is on a different file sytem than the data files cause any problems? The reason i am asking this is that the descriptor and data files are currently on the same file system and in order to reduce I/O queuing i would like to keep the descriptor file for new dat...

The disks are on SAN and their performance is fine. The issue is that on the AIX server side we are seeing queuing whilst the disks respond to each request for data. The issue is caused by batch wanting to access the same disks for data - when you have 40 batch jobs running at the same time all want...

The datastage projects reside in one file system and nothing else is on this file system.

We are currently experiencing I/O bottlenecks on the unix file system that contains all our datastage projects.

Is there any benefit in creating seperate file systems for each project?

I have read a number of articles around improving job performance by assigning RAM disk to the scratchdisk resource entry in the config file.

Will this work for AIX verion 5.3 and above?
