Manage disk pools

Backup, Recovery and Media Services (BRMS) allows you to manage information about the disk pools that are used during save operations.

A disk pool, also referred to as an auxiliary storage pool (ASP) in the character-based interface, is a software definition of a group of disk units on your system. BRMS stores information about the disk pool to perform migration of data between disk pools during save operations. This information is updated in the BRMS database but does not update the information of the actual disk pool on the system. To manage a disk pool, complete the following steps:
  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand My Connections (or your active environment).
  2. Expand a system with Backup, Recovery and Media Services installed on it.
  3. Right-click Backup, Recovery and Media Services and select Manage Disk Pools.
  4. On the Manage Disk Pools panel, you can select to edit disk pools or manage disk pool. For more detailed descriptions of each of these options, click Help.
