to ASP2 or not to ASP2 on new hardware ?
Dear gang,
I the past I've allways configured a separate mirrored ASP2 on 2 separate
disks for the SAP journals. I did this for performance as well as
availability reasons: no journal parity stripes are so being written to the
same disks containing SAP data, I/O for data and journals is completely
separated.
But now IBM is telling me that you no longer need a separate asp for the
journal receivers (from a performance point of view)
Is this true also in a heavily used SAP environment (ie a 870 with
eventually 1000 users)?
And from witch hardware / software on?
What about I/O intensive tasks such as client copies / deletions where
there is a lot of disk activity on both the SAP data disks as well as on
the journals?
What is the official SAP-iSeries CC possition on this? Tomorrow I will
install a new 870, and I want to mirror 2 separate disks in an ASP2 for
journals, but everybody (customer, IBM, HW vendor) is telling me that is is
no longer needed. But I feel that despite of all the new HW with enormeous
amounts of DASD cache, it is still better (in extreme situations) not to
mix SAP data I/O and journals I/O on hte same disks.
Thanks in advance,
