Enabling the Tivoli Storage Manager device manager

Edit online

Each Tivoli® Storage Manager volume defined for the resource manager results in a unique Tivoli Storage Manager file space on the Tivoli Storage Manager server. The name of the file space is /ICM/resource-manager-name/resource-manager-collection/TSM-management-class. When you store the first object into each unique Content Manager Enterprise Edition Tivoli Storage Manager volume, a Tivoli Storage Manager file space is created.

About this task

When you delete or migrate all of the objects out of the Tivoli Storage Manager file space, the initial file space is not deleted. If you want to delete an empty file space, use the Tivoli Storage Manager administration functions to delete it.
