Configuring Random Access Volumes on Disk Devices | System |
Tivoli Storage Manager provides a defined DISK device class that is used with all disk devices.
As part of initial configuration, administrators configure the TSM database and recovery log on the hard disk of the TSM server machine. The initial configuration wizard provides a database volume wizard and a recovery log volume wizard to guide the administrator through these disk volume formatting tasks. See Quick Start for information about using these wizards.
To set up a random access volume on disk to store client backup, archive, or space-managed data, do the following:
Another way to use magnetic disk storage is to use files as volumes that store data sequentially (as on tape volumes). You can use FILE sequential volumes to transfer data for purposes such as electronic vaulting. For example, you can send the results of an export operation or a database backup operation to another location. At the receiving site, the files can be placed on tape or disk. You can define a device class with a device type of FILE.

The Device Configuration Wizard automatically creates a storage pool when the FILE volume is configured. Administrators must then do one of the following:
