Basically it uses DB and LOG volumes by filling up the first then moving to the next one. Of course as things progress, some of the first volumes can be less than 100% full, this is more so on DB Volumes. The LOG is a sequentially written device.
This is most easily observered when a new system is setup (Or new volumes are added) and DB and LOG volumes are on many disks and you can observe the disk I/O activity to prove it. Disk Storage POOL volumes are more even. TSM Server attempts to spread data evenly (more or less) over all the volumes for a DISK STGPOOL David Longo >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/02/02 03:00AM >>> Dear all, I have looked through the adsm.org archives. The answers I got from the archives are not consistent. I would vary much appreciate an answer to the question: Does TSM use all DB volumes for I/O (like round-robin) or does it fill a volume and then goes to the next one? What about LOG volumes? Many thanks in advance!!!!
