--------------------------------------------------------------------------

      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,
