Database and recovery log
Chapter 5.
By now you should have completed the installation of your IBM Tivoli Storage
Manager server and clients, and done some basic functional testing. You are
ready to move on to further customization. In this chapter we cover the steps to
set up and change your database and recovery log settings to a recommended
configuration.
The Tivoli Storage Manager database contains all the information needed for
server operations, and information about client data that has been backed up,
archived, and space-managed. The database and the recovery log are closely
related. The recovery log caches database transactions, allowing you to replay
the transactions in the event of the database requiring restoration.
The information in this chapter assumes that you have read the IBM Redbook
IBM Tivoli Storage Management Concepts, SG24-4877, and have planned your
database and recovery log sizes. See 2.8, "Disk considerations and sizing" on
page 39, for planning considerations. If you have not planned the values that your
installation requires to run Tivoli Storage Manager, please do so before
continuing.
Use the information you gathered from the planning chapter when you issue your
own commands. Because the database and recovery log configurations are
highly dependent on site-specific values, we cannot predict all possible
combinations. Instead, we provide a sequence of example commands that you
can use to best configure the database and recovery log for your environment.
