IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Database and recovery log overview

The Tivoli® Storage Manager administrative interfaces work with the database and recovery log. The skills of a database administrator are not required to manage them.

Tivoli Storage Manager version 6.3 is installed with the IBM DB2® database application. Users who are experienced DB2 administrators can choose to perform advanced SQL queries and use DB2 tools to monitor the database. However, do not use DB2 tools to change DB2 configuration settings from those settings that are preset by Tivoli Storage Manager. Do not alter the DB2 environment for Tivoli Storage Manager in other ways, such as with other products. The Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6.3 server was built and tested with the data definition language (DDL) and database configuration that Tivoli Storage Manager deploys.

Attention: Making changes to the DDL or database configuration without using Tivoli Storage Manager interfaces can adversely affect performance, damage or destroy the server database, or cause data to become permanently lost.

Ensure that you do not do any of the following:

Use database tools or interfaces other than those provided or documented by Tivoli Storage Manager to change configuration settings from those that are set by Tivoli Storage Manager at installation.
Alter the DB2 environment in other ways. If you use database tools or interfaces other than those provided or documented by Tivoli Storage Manager, you must treat the server database as read-only.
Use other interfaces to make changes to the server database.
