bear in mind that if you're using hardware raid, then that's 16 hdisks, not
necessarily 16 physical disks....

Tim,
I can think of two minor disadvantages. You can not import your volume group
to older versions of AIX, and you will have less PV per VG meaning less
hard disk per volume group. If you will not have more than 16 Disks in this
VG then it is OK.

Subject: chvg -t OR larger PP's?
Our current production system has a VG using 8MB PPs. The system to which
we will be upgrading to has larger drives and will require either 16MB PPs
or the use of chvg -t in order to avoid the default limit of 1016 PPs per
PV. I can't see any (dis)advantages to using one method over the other.
Are there any? TIA.
