Working with DB2 virtual system patterns

You can use virtual system patterns to perform tasks such as configuring and monitoring your IBM® DB2® databases.

Setting value for CritRsctProtMethod in RSCT for DB2 HADR deployments
CritRsrcProtMethod is an RSCT (Reliable, Scalable Cluster Technology) variable that is used to determine how RSCT reacts to certain circumstances to protect critical resources.
Setting custom UID and GID values for DB2 users and groups
The DB2 software component creates OS level groups and OS level users for instance, fenced, and database user. Set custom UID and GID values for DB2 users and groups.
Increasing storage for a DB2 virtual application pattern before it is deployed
Before you deploy a virtual system database pattern, you can increase the amount of storage space allocated to the database pattern you are configuring.
Increasing storage for a DB2 virtual application pattern after it is deployed
You can increase the amount of storage for a virtual application pattern that is already deployed on the system.
Enabling BLU Acceleration for a DB2 10.5 virtual application pattern deployment
You can configure DB2 10.5 in a virtual application pattern deployment to use BLU Acceleration.
Testing deployed HADR databases in a DB2 virtual application pattern deployment
After you deploy a database that is configured for high availability disaster recovery (HADR), you can run tests on both the primary and standby IBM DB2 parts to make sure that they are working correctly.
Stopping a DB2 virtual application pattern HADR instance
Use the console stop a high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) instance for the IBM DB2 primary and standby parts.
