How you configure and size the database and recovery logs
is essential to Tivoli® Storage
Manager performance.
Before you begin
The server records changes that are made to the database in
the recovery log. The recovery log is used to maintain the database
in a transactionally consistent state, and to maintain consistency
across server startup operations. The recovery log is composed of
an active log, an archive log, and optional logs, including the active
log mirror and archive failover log. The following figure shows the
Tivoli Storage
Manager server,
database, and recovery log in relation to each other.
