IBM® Tivoli® Storage Manager 6 for Space Management moves inactive data to reclaim online disk space for important active data.
It frees administrators and users from manual file system pruning tasks, and defers the need to purchase additional disk storage.
- Acts as a Hierarchical Storage Manager (HSM) to extend your local disk space and automate the movement of seldom-used files to and from near line storage
- Contains pre-migration tools that send a copy of the file to be migrated to the Storage Manager server prior to migration, making storage space available fast and allowing for scheduled data transfer over the network
- Allows you to pre-define the stub file size, which will eliminate the recall of the entire file for programs that browse only the first part of a file
- File management has been enhanced and simplified in version 6
- When used in conjunction with the IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS), files managed by Tivoli Storage Manager for Space Management can be quickly moved from one storage pool (e.g. fast RAID) to another storage pool (e.g. slower SATA disks) while the filename will remain the same including its directory and filesystem name
