  I have a new fastt600 direct attached to 2 h80's
  ( aix 4.3.3.). The fast Best Practices Guide
  talks about balancing  LUNs across controllers,
  but when I did this with a raid device, creating
  a logical volume across 2 raid devices, tests
  showed the system reading not from both raid devices
  at the same time, but in round robin fashion.
  Thruput was not terrible, but was not exceptional
  either.
  Anyone have any experience or suggestions
  tuning the fastt600, or other fast devices ?
  Thanks,
