Features That ISM Does Not Support

ISM does not support the following features. Third-party storage managers might support these features.

• Distributing a single data stream across multiple devices simultaneously, which improves throughput if you have several slow devices
• Using different encryption or compression methods for specified storage spaces or databases
• Scheduling backups
• Support for devices such as tape libraries, jukeboxes, silos, tape autochangers, and stackers
• Remote host operations

  You can install some storage managers on a different host from the database server. However, ISM must be installed on the same host as the database server.
