Managing DB2 Recovery Data Sets with SMS 65
Table 20. Management Classes for Recovery Data Sets
7.1.4 SMS Storage Groups
SMS Storage Classes and Management Classes are combined to generate
Storage Groups. This function is performed by the ACS routines. Table 21 on
page 66 shows the relationship between SMS Storage Classes and the SMS
Management Classes with the SMS Storage Groups for DB2 recovery data sets.
Only those Storage Groups needed to satisfy DB2 recovery data set
requirements are defined.
Table 22 on page 66 shows the attributes of the example Storage Groups for DB2
table and index spaces. The five example SMS Storage Groups are:
SGDBIC Storage Group intended for standard image copies.
SGDBICH Storage Group intended for high availability image copies.
SGDBARCH Storage Group intended for primary and secondary archive logs
and for secondary image copies. These data sets will be migrated
by DFSMShsm.
