> I'm connecting a Infortrend SCSI Raid (supporting LVD, Ultra SCSI3, etc
> and performing well under Linux) to a F50 with an Dual Channel Ultra3
> SCSI Adapter (which should archive up to 160 MB/sec).

> Reading 100MB of the same 64k block from the raid (it has 256 MB of
> cache) showes me the SCSI Performance of the bus.

> It takes about 4 seconds reading from /dev/rhdiskX, which is 25MB/sec.

> Looking at the raid it tells me, that AIX is talking async narrow to the
> raid!

> Does anybody have experiance connecting a non IBM RAID on Ultra SCSI3 to
> an AIX machine?

> I would expect transfer rates at least of 60 MB reading from cache.

> Perhaps there is a need for ODM config changes to tell AIX that osdisk
> is a LVD disk?

> Thanks in advance,
