Automatic tuning of selected server options
Selected server options can be tuned automatically
by the server.
Database, recovery log, and all storage pool volumes
TSM can specify a size from 0 to 64MB for VSAM
I/O pages to allow a faster throughput of data for
operations involving the database, the recovery log,
and all storage pool volumes.
Database page shadowing
Database page shadowing mirrors every write to a
database page so that the server can recover pages
that have been partially written to should an outage
occur that affects both mirrored volumes. Combined
with the MIRRORREAD and MIRRORWRITE
server options for the database and recovery log, you
can specify your preferred level of protection,
recoverability and performance.
Database load and audit enhancements
A new utility has been added to recover the contents
of the database when the server is offline.
Database snapshot
You now have the choice of making a database snapshot,
which is a full database backup to media that can be taken
off-site. The database snapshot does not interrupt any
database backup series and cannot have incremental database
backups associated with it.
Device support
Enhancements to device support include:
¶Control of tape drive cleaning
¶Bulk tape check-in and check-out
¶IBM 3494 Tape Library Dataserver
¶Support for devices on a storage area network (SAN)
¶IBM 3570 and 3575
