Enabling Concurrent I/O

Because you do not need to extend name spaces and present the files as devices, you can enable Concurrent I/O on regular files.

Before enabling Concurrent I/O, review the following:

Prerequisites

To use the Concurrent I/O feature, the file system must be a VxFS file system.
Make sure the mount point on which you plan to mount the file system exists.
Make sure the DBA can access the mount point.

To enable Concurrent I/O on a file system using mount with the -o cio option

Mount the file system using the mount command as follows:
```
  # /usr/sbin/mount -V vxfs -o cio special /mount_point
```
where:
- special is a block special device
- /mount_point is the directory where the file system will be mounted.
