Hi fellow listers,

Back in October of last year I reported a problem when performing disc I/O
intensive processing on HP's 12H AutoRaid. At the time I promised to let you
know when we had solved the problem and what OUR final solution was. Well
here it is.

  "We replaced the 12H (with 12 * 9.1 SE's) with 5 * 18.2 LVD's."

The result? Most of our batch jobs are now twice as fast. The only ones that
have not improved are the CPU intensive ones.

DISCLAIMER (please read):
1) This solution worked for 'US', it [may/may not] work for 'YOU'.
2) The 12H 'IS NOT A BAD PRODUCT', it just was 'NOT SUITABLE FOR OUR NEEDS'.

The thoughts, comments, and opinions expressed herein are mine. They do not
reflect those of my employer, Hewlett-Packard, our hardware/software
supplier, nor anyone else.

regards,
