We all know how important it is to have the data spread across few tablespaces in order to speed up the backup. DB2 utilizes IO parallelism during the backup by processing multiple tablespaces at the same time (BACKUP ... PARALLELISM <N>). E.g. if you would have 10 tablespaces and go with parallelism 5, DB2 will spawn 5 buffer manipulator EDUs (db2bm) that will read 5 tablespaces in parallel (with the help of prefetchers). Once given db2bm is done with a tablespace, it will pick up the next one from those, which were not backed up yet.... [More]
