Updates
At the time of publication, the following updates were available:
IBM TS4500 tape library
You can use an IBM TS4500 tape library for data storage. The TS4500 tape library is designed to provide higher storage density, and can be used with Tivoli Storage Manager Fix Pack 6.3.4.000, Fix Pack 6.3.5.000, and V7.1.
Offline reorganization of tables and indexes
You can reorganize indexes and tables offline by using the new DISABLEREORGTABLE, DISABLEREORGINDEX, and DISABLEREORGCLEANUPINDEX server options. By using offline reorganization, you can help to maintain server stability and improve database performance. Specify these options in the dsmserv.opt file to help prevent the following issues:
  • Delays during table reorganization
  • Interrupted server operations because the active log becomes full during index reorganization
  • Issues with server applications when reorganization is used to resolve deadlocks
