5620 SAM database
A 5620 SAM system requires a central database for persistent storage. The database
can be on the same station as a 5620 SAM main server, or on a separate station. A
redundant 5620 SAM deployment has two databases that are synchronized in a
primary/standby configuration to limit data loss in the event of a failure.
You can manage the following central database functions:
Database safeguards
In addition to the protection of system redundancy, the 5620 SAM has mechanisms
that raise alarms for the following:
• database disk and tablespace capacity issues
• redundancy events, misconfiguration, and failures
• database backup misconfiguration and failures
• archive log management actions and failures
• internal errors that may represent a security risk
• size constraint and ageout constraint policy violations
• security
• statistics data retention
• data synchronization
• backups and restores
• historical record retention
• object ageout time
• log storage
• SQL error monitoring
• alarm handling
