Capacity planning for Tivoli® Storage
Manager includes
managing resources such as the database and recovery log. To maximize
resources as part of capacity planning, you must estimate space requirements
for the database and the recovery log.
Procedure
For information about the benefits of deduplication
and guidance on how to make effective use of the Tivoli Storage
Manager deduplication
feature, see Optimizing Performance.
AIX: Estimating space requirements for the database
To estimate space requirements for
the database, you can use the maximum number of files that can be
in server storage at one time or you can use storage pool capacity.
AIX: Recovery log space requirements
In Tivoli Storage
Manager, the term recovery
log comprises the active log, the archive log, the active log
mirror, and the archive failover log. The amount of space that you
require for the recovery log depends on various factors, including,
for example, the amount of client activity with the server.
AIX: Monitoring space utilization for the database and recovery logs
To determine the amount of used and available
active log space, you issue the QUERY LOG command.
To monitor space utilization in the database and recovery logs, you
can also check the activity log for messages.
