Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
Brand - Servers and Systems Software
Product family - Storage
Product - Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Family
For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:
Brand - Tivoli
Product family - Storage
Product - Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) Family
the link above say:
" Although DB2 supports NFS, even with a Tivoli Storage Manager Version 6 server, it is not recommended to place the database or logs on a volume that is mounted through NFS."
this means that while this configuration is supported for use with TSM we recommend that you don't use such configurations due to performance and resiliency issues that might occur, so before deciding to move forward with such configuration you have to carefully weigh your options and be aware of its side-effects.
I'll circle back with the team and see if there's any kind of verbiage change that we can use to clear up that statement in our documentation.
Can I get that in writing?
Previously when I mentioned it to support they said that it is not supported hence the RFE.
Who should I ask to make that reference clearer to reflect your comment that it is supported, just not recommended
Thanks for submitting this enhancement request, as you've mentioned our guidelines are published in the following link: https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21470193
this documentation clearly states that this is not a recommended configuration but it is a supported configuration.
