Tivoli Storage Manager for Sun Solaris Quick Start


Increasing Database and Recovery Log Sizes

The first-time installation procedure creates a default 17MB database volume (db.dsm) and a default 9MB recovery log volume (log.dsm). Databases and recovery logs are allocated in 4MB increments with an additional 1MB for overhead.

The database size is largely determined by the number of client files being stored on server storage. The database should be large enough to hold data about at least one day's worth of client backups. As you add clients, you may need to increase your database size. The recovery log size may need to be increased depending on the current utilization.

To increase the size of the database or recovery log, do the following:

  1. Format and define a 500MB database volume and a 25MB recovery log volume and extend the database and recovery log, by entering:
    Admin Command Line
    +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |define dbvolume db2.dsm formatsize=500                                          |
    |define logvolume log2.dsm formatsize=25                                         |
    |                                                                                |
    |extend db 500                                                                   |
    |extend log 25                                                                   |
