Db2 Data Gate system requirements
The following hardware and software requirements must be met to run the IBM® Db2 for z/OS® Data Gate service on IBM Cloud Pak® for Data.
Version support
The current service version is IBM Db2 for z/OS Data Gate Version 4.0.0.
The current service version is compatible with:
- IBM Cloud Pak for Data Version 4.7.0 (5737-H76)
- IBM Cloud Pak for Data Db2 (5737-L73)
Hardware requirements
- Supported architectures
-
- x86 64-bit
- IBM Z® (s390x)
- Min. number of virtual CPUs required for installation
- 2
- Min. amount of memory (in GB of RAM) required for the service to run
- 13
- Min. amount of storage (in GB) required by the service
- 50
- Supported storage types
- For a list of the supported storage types and the recommended storage classes, see the entries for Db2 Data Gate in the following sections:
Note:
- For optimal performance, at least a 10 Gigabit Ethernet connection is recommended between the IBM Z System and the IBM Cloud Pak for Data system.
- For the best Db2 Data
Gate performance, create a
Db2 or Db2 Warehouse service instance with a
storage volume type of
hostPath.
