Quick Start
The following changes have been made for this edition:
- Creation of portable backup sets for clients
- The server can create portable backup sets for clients. The
function consolidates a client's active backup files onto portable media
that may be directly readable by the client's system for restore
operations.
- Logical volume backup for clients
- Backup-archive clients can now back up logical volumes to the Tivoli
Storage Manager server.
- Performance enhancements
- Performance enhancements include the following:
- Automatic tuning of selected server options
- Selected server options can be tuned automatically by the server.
- Flat file throughput
- Capability for overlapping BSAM I/O can increase throughput for flat
files.
- Database, recovery log, and all storage pool volumes
- TSM can specify a size from 0 to 64MB for VSAM I/O pages to allow a faster
throughput of data for operations involving the database, the recovery log,
and all storage pool volumes.
- Support for InfoSpeed communication protocol
- The server now supports IBM InfoSpeed for high speed transfer of client
data between the Tivoli Storage Manager server and the UNIX and Windows NT
clients over ESCON and SCSI interfaces. See Administrator's
Reference.
- Database page shadowing
- Database page shadowing mirrors every write to a database page. In
this way the server can recover pages that have been partially written to
should an outage occur that affects both mirrored volumes.
- Database snapshot
- You now have the choice a making a database snapshot, which is a full
database backup to media that can be taken off-site. The database
snapshot does not interrupt any database backup series and cannot have
incremental database backups associated with it.
- Proxy Web services
- Tivoli Storage Manager provides a web proxy that you can install on a
separate web server machine. Using the web proxy reduces the requests
that are made through the administrative web interface. See Quick
Start for details.
- Password expiration controls
- You can reset the password expiration period for all or selected
users.
- Licensing changes
- Some features that formerly required the purchase of licenses are now part
of the base Tivoli Storage Manager product.
