ASP is an auxiliary storage pool. It is one or more physical disk units that are connected to the same storage region.
ASP is available on IBM I servers, and several disk storage units are grouped to form an ASP. ASP is a collection of internal storage area networks (SAN) and other types of accessed disks on IBM i. There are different types of ASP storage, ranging from 1 to 255.
System ASP (ASP 1): It is automatically created for an IBM i system, which means it is a default ASP. This consists of disk storage unit 1 and other unassigned system ASP containing OS objects, licensed programs, etc. Basic ASP (ASP 2 through ASP 32): We can create a basic ASP by combining a set of storage units and assigning that group to an unused ASP number. This ASP is assigned to only one IBM i server. Independent ASP (ASP 33 through ASP 255): This ASP is available to be used by local and remote IBM i servers. They were created for multiple purposes, such as database segregation, uninterrupted business, etc. It is possible to switch this ASP between IBM i servers.
