Configure/Enable AIO on AIX7.1

[AIXLogician]

Hello,
I need to enable AIO on my DB2 server, I tried to change it using the below command

root@XXXXX:/root# ioo -a | grep aio_active
aio_active = 0
posix_aio_active = 0

root@XXXXX:/root# ioo -p -o aio_active=1
ioo: 1485-114 Static tunable aio_active cannot be changed

Irony is that I was able to change teh parameter on my development box few months ago.

FYI,
On both system we used same media AIX7.1TL01SP04

Figured out myself, starting from AIX6.1 AIO is made static, meaning it cannot be changed. But AIO will be automatically enabled when it receive a request from a particular application for database.

So, aio_active=o will turn to aio_active=1, when it receives a request.

Hope this helps.
