TSM Integration with DB2 Data Links Manager

DB2 Data Links Manager will now be able to use the functionality of Tivoli Space Manager (TSM) and its virtual filesystem, called FSM, which layers itself on top of native filesystems like JFS. FSM can be accessed and configured in the same manner as JFS.

This new feature benefits customers who have filesystems with large files that are required to be moved to tertiary storage periodically, and the space of the filesystem needs to be managed on a regular basis. For many customers, TSM currently provides the means to manage their tertiary storage. The new DB2 Data Links Manager support of TSM provides greater flexibility in managing the space for DATALINK files. Rather than pre-allocating enough storage in the DB2 Data Links Manager file system for all files which may be stored there, TSM allows allocations of the Data Links managed file system to be adjusted over a period of time without the risk of inadvertently filling up the file system during normal usage.
