The process involves migrating data stored in a traditional file-based storage pool to a container-based storage pool within a Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) environment. This typically entails moving data from disk volumes associated with the file stgpool into the more flexible and scalable infrastructure of a container stgpool.
Implementing this transition offers enhanced resource utilization, simplified management, and improved scalability. Historically, file-based storage pools presented limitations in terms of capacity expansion and administrative overhead. Container-based storage pools address these challenges by abstracting the underlying physical storage, leading to greater efficiency and reduced operational costs.
