server options file. A file that contains settings that control various server operations. These settings, or options, affect such things as communications, devices, and performance.

server storage. The primary and copy storage pools used by the server to store users’ files: backup versions, archive copies, and files migrated from Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management client nodes (space-managed files). See storage pool and storage hierarchy.

shared library. A library device that is shared among multiple IBM Tivoli Storage Manager servers.

storage agent. A program that enables IBM Tivoli Storage Manager to back up and restore client data directly to and from SAN-attached storage.

storage agent options file. A file that specifies options for the storage agent. This includes the name of the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server with which the storage agent communicates, the number of sessions that can be kept open to the server, and the name of the device configuration file. Also called the dsmsta.opt file.

storage hierarchy. A logical ordering of primary storage pools, as defined by an administrator. The ordering is usually based on the speed and capacity of the devices that the storage pools use. In IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, the storage hierarchy is defined by identifying the next storage pool in a storage pool definition. See storage pool.

storage pool. A named set of storage volumes that is the destination that the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager server uses to store client data. A storage pool stores backup versions, archive copies, and files that are migrated from space manager client nodes. You back up a primary storage pool to a copy storage pool.

T

tape library. A term used to refer to a collection of drives and tape cartridges. The tape library can be an automated device that performs tape cartridge mounts and demounts without operator intervention.

V

volume. The basic unit of storage for the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager database, recovery log, and storage pools. A volume can be an LVM logical volume, a standard file system file, a tape cartridge, or an optical cartridge. Each volume is identified by a unique volume identifier.
