A storage pool is a logical area of the backup destination. By logically allocating tapes to a storage pool, data is backed up to media in the relevant storage pool. A storage pool can be created as follows.
tsm> define stgpool <pool name> <device class name> maxscratch=<maximum number of scratch volumes> highmig=100 reclaim=100 collocate=no |
Ensure that the following parameters are set. Do not set any other parameters.
Pool name
Specifies any name that identifies the storage pool.
Device class name
Specifies the device class name included in the device class definition.
maxscratch=<Maximum number of scratch volumes>
Specifies the maximum number of volumes that can be fetched as scratch volumes (tapes used for Scratch operation) into the storage pool.
Specify 0 if you do not use scratch volumes.highmig=100
Specify the fixed value of 100.
reclaim=100
Specify the fixed value of 100.
collocate=no
Specify the fixed value of no.
[Example] Create storage pool POOL1, with up to 50 scratch volumes, in device class DRIVECLASS1.
tsm> define stgpool POOL1 DRIVECLASS1 maxscratch=50 highmig=100 reclaim=100 collocate=no |
