DB2 and TSM

Very basic question;

while taking DB2 database backup on windows or AIX, if we specify the option to take backup using TSM, how does DB2 knows that TSM is there. Basically if anybody can explain the whole setup of TSM and DB2's interaction and vice-versa that would be great.

thanks in advance.

See Appendix F of the "Data Recovery and High Availability Guide and Reference", it goes through the whole configuration.

Effectively, there's some environment variables that tell DB2 where to find ADSM.

Edit: should read TSM, not ADSM (old habits die hard)
