Chapter 7.
Data storage policies
In this chapter we focus on the actual storage policy implementation. Before
continuing, you should have already filled out the planning sheets, and we
assume that you have read and understood the IBM Tivoli Storage Management
Concepts, SG24-4877. We have now covered planning through installation and
customizing your storage devices. Now we cover how to set up your storage
policies.
A data storage environment consists of three types of resources: machines,
rules, and data. The machines are computers containing data that must be
backed up, and the rules specify how the backup copies are to be treated.
Depending on how you need to manage your backup data, your data storage
policy can be very simple or very complex. The simplest policy would have one
set of rules that apply to all of the data in your organization, while the most
complex policy would be to have a unique set of rules for each individual file.
Most installations fall somewhere between these two extremes.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager has entities that group and organize the resources
and define relationships between them. A client, also known as a
node
in IBM
Tivoli Storage Manager terminology, is grouped together with other nodes into a
policy domain
. The domain links the nodes to a
policy set
, which consists of
management classes
. A management class contains rules called
copy groups
that
it links to the data. When the data is linked to particular rules, it is said to be
bound to the management class that contains the rules.
