10 Jan 2008 Learn best practices for deploying IBM® DB2® 9 with the IBM
System p™ virtualization technologies. System p virtualization technologies offer a richer set of platform-deployment features. These features range from simple resource isolation to an array of the most advanced and powerful functions, including: server-resource partitioning, autonomic dynamic-resource reallocation, and workload management.
Introduction
DB2 9 is the industry’s leading information management platform. DB2 9 is enabled to leverage the System p virtualization technology. Innovative features such as host dynamic-resource awareness, online tuning of configuration parameters, and self-tuning memory management enables DB2 to be well suited for the virtualization environment. When running DB2 9 on the System p platform, selecting a right blend of virtualization features to achieve desired business goals can sometimes be challenging. This article is an abbreviated guide and should serve as a starting point for such deployments.
