check to see if they are protecting the DB & LOG files via OS level mirroring or maybe via some other form of RAID configuration... In our environment using plain SSA disks in a JBOD configuration I mirror (via tsm) the db & log files but in our environments using our ESS storage unit I don't...

I have a test and a production system that were previously managed by two different groups. The test system has the DB and Recovery Log Volumes with copies of the volumes, but on production there are none. I have 18 volumes for the DB and only 1 volume for the recovery log. I was under the impression that these volumes are very important when problems arise. I do back up the DB every day and I delete the volume history after 180 days. Does anyone have any suggestions/comments on the idea of copying the volumes of the DB and the Recovery Log? I was also wondering if users use the spacetrigger feature on TSM or do you use other methods to extend these two things when they become full? I'd appreciate any ideas! Thanks!!!
