AIX: Compatibility of the Tivoli Storage Manager server with other DB2 products on the system
You can install other products that deploy and use DB2® products on the same system as the Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.6 server, with some limitations.
To install and use other products that use a DB2 product on the same system as the Tivoli Storage Manager server, ensure that the following criteria are met:
| Criterion | Instructions |
|---|---|
| Version level | The other products that use a DB2 product must use DB2 version 9 or later. DB2 products include product encapsulation and segregation support beginning with Version 9. Starting with this version, you can run multiple copies of DB2 products, at different code levels, on the same system. For details, see the information about multiple DB2 copies in the DB2 product information. |
| User IDs and directories | Ensure that the user IDs, fence user IDs, installation location, other directories, and related information are not shared across DB2 installations. Your specifications must be different from the IDs and locations that you used for the Tivoli Storage Manager server installation and configuration. If you used the dsmicfgx wizard or dsmupgdx wizard to configure Version 7.1.6, or upgrade the server from Version 5.5, these are values that you entered when running the wizard. If you used the manual configuration for Version 7.1.6 or upgrade from Version 5.5 procedures, review the procedures that you used if necessary to recall the values that were used for the server. |
| Resource allocation | Consider the resources and capability of the system compared to the requirements for both the Tivoli Storage Manager server and the other applications that use the DB2 product. To provide sufficient resources for the other DB2 applications, you might have to change the Tivoli Storage Manager server settings so that the server uses less system memory and resources. Similarly, if the workloads for the other DB2 applications compete with the Tivoli Storage Manager server for processor or memory resources, the performance of the server in handling the expected client workload or other server operations might be adversely affected. To segregate resources and provide more capability for the tuning and allocation of processor, memory, and other system resources for multiple applications, consider using logical partition (LPAR), workload partition (WPAR), or other virtual workstation support. For example, run a DB2 application on its own virtualized system. |
