Tivoli® Storage
Manager provides
a predefined DISK device class that is used with all disk devices.
Procedure
To set up a random access volume on disk to store client
backup, archive, or space-managed data, complete the following steps:
- Define a storage pool that is associated with the DISK
device class. For example, enter the following command to define a
storage pool named ENGBACK1:
define stgpool engback1 disk maxsize=5G highmig=85 lowmig=40
- Prepare a volume for use in a random access storage pool
by defining the volume. If you do not specify a full path name, the
command uses the current path.
Define a 21 MB volume
for the ENGBACK1 storage pool that is in the path
c:\program
files\tivoli\tsm\server and named stgvol.002. Enter the
following command:
define volume engback1
c:\program files\tivoli\tsm\server\stgvol.002' formatsize=21
- Do one of the following:
- Specify the new storage pool as the destination for client files
that are backed up, archived, or migrated, by modifying existing policy
or creating new policy. See Implementing policies for client data for
details.
- Place the new storage pool in the storage pool migration hierarchy
by updating an already defined storage pool. See Example: Updating storage pools.
Note: Define storage pool volumes on disk drives that reside
on the server system, not on remotely mounted file systems. Network
attached drives can compromise the integrity of the data that you
are writing.
