ASP Number (ASP)

Specifies the auxillary storage pool from which the system allocates storage for the queue manager library, journal and journal receivers.

The possible values are:

*SYSTEM

The system auxillary storage pool (ASP 1) provides the storage for the queue manager library, journal and journal receivers.

auxillary-storage-pool-number

Specify a value ranging from 1 through 32 to specify the number of the system or basic user ASP to provide storage for the queue manager library, journal and journal receivers.

ASPs allow isolation of objects on one or more specific disk units. This may reduce the loss of data due to a disk media failure. In most cases, only data that is stored on disk units in the affected ASP is lost. It is recommended to store the queue manager library and journal data in a seperate user ASP to that of the root IFS file system, to provide failover and reduce disk contention.
