IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Version 7.1

Database space required when running database operations

The database manager of the Tivoli® Storage Manager server manages and allocates system memory and disk space for the database. The amount of database space that the system requires depends on the amount of system memory that is available and the server workload.

For example, expiration processing can use a large amount of database space. If there is not enough system memory in the database to store the files identified for expiration, some of the data is allocated to temporary disk space. During expiration processing, if a node or file space is selected that is too large to process, the database manager cannot sort the data.

To run database operations, consider adding more database space for the following scenarios:

The database has a small amount of space and the server operation that requires temporary space uses the remaining free space.
The file spaces are large, or the file spaces have a policy assigned to it that creates many file versions.
The Tivoli Storage Manager server must run with limited memory.
An out of database space error is displayed when you deploy a Tivoli Storage Manager V6 server.

Attention: Do not install or upgrade to a different version, release, or fix pack of DB2 software because doing so can damage the database.
