Right, until some extent: yes, the DBA's should not be able to request those storage management details. Another point that you (the storage manager) should be aware of when concerning DB2 Archive Logs is their performance. When we moved from Hitachi disk to ESS, we had severe performance problems with the Log Archiving. DB2 was logging faster than archiving could empty the logs causing several DB2 halts. We had to spread the DB2 Logs over the ESS in such a way that logging did not interfere with archiving, thus ensuring sufficient archive performance. I think this is an ESS problem and not a DS8000 problem, but you might want to take a look into this, to prevent the DBA's from seeing justification in their storage management demands.
