Configuring LVM Filesystems for Optimum Performance in AIX

To configure an RS/6000 system for the highest disk I/O performance, create the logical volumes using the following guidelines.

 

  1. Create logical volumes with only 1 copy (do not mirror partitions)
  2. Set "write-verify": NO
  3. INTRA-policy: CENTER
  4. INTER-policy: MAXIMUM

Note the tradeoffs between higher performance and availability. Typical systems are configured somewhere between the two extremes presented in the AIX Tips. The following attachment explains the reasoning behind each of these selections.
