Example Environment; Storage Pool Hierarchy For Our Recommended Setup - IBM E16RMLL-I - Tivoli Storage Manager Implementation Manual

6.1 Example environment

The examples presented in this chapter are based on the environment shown in
Figure 6-1. The example environment contains four primary storage pools and
two copy pools. Client data backups go to the disk-based storage pool DISKDATA
and are then migrated to the sequential storage pool, TAPEDATA. OFFDATA is
set up as a copy pool for taking data off-site. Client directory structures, which
are much smaller in size, are directed to the sequential file storage pool
DISKDIRS. They are then backed up to the copy pool, OFFDIRS.
In 1.1.1, "Our support material" on page 5, we show how to load a predefined
macro into Tivoli Storage Manager. The macro, mac.stgcreate, which we provide
to create the storage pools in our book environment, is shown in "Create storage
pools" on page 738.
