Using Magnetic Disk Devices with ADSM

Magnetic disk devices can be used with ADSM for two purposes:

• Storage of the database and recovery log
• Storage of client data that is backed up, archived, or migrated from client nodes

ADSM can store data on magnetic disk using random access volumes (device type of DISK) or sequential access volumes (device type of FILE).

For guidance in setting up storage pools on disk devices, see Chapter 3. "Using Magnetic Disk Devices with ADSM".
