Managing disk pools

Backup, Recovery, and Media Services (BRMS) allows you to manage information about the disk pools that are used during save operations.

A disk pool, also referred to as an auxiliary storage pool (ASP) in the character-based interface, is a software definition of a group of disk units on your system. BRMS stores information about the disk pool to perform migration of data between disk pools during save operations. This information is updated in the BRMS database but does not update the information of the actual disk pool on the system. To manage a disk pool, complete the following steps:
Start of change
  1. Select Backup, Recovery, and Media Services > Manage Disk Pools action item.
  2. On the Manage Disk Pools panel, you can select to edit disk pools or manage disk pool. For more detailed descriptions of each of these options, click Help.
