The ADSM database contains information about the client data in storage pools, registered client nodes, ADSM policies, and ADSM schedules. The server recovery log, which records changes made to the database, is used to restore the database to a consistent state and to maintain consistency across server start-up operations.
You manage the database and recovery log space to tune database and recovery log performance.
For more information about the ADSM database and recovery log and about the tasks associated with administering them, see Chapter 16. "Managing the Database and Recovery Log".
