To help you efficiently set up and use DB2® software with the IBM® DB2 pureScale® Feature software, you can use the best practice papers that are described in this section.
This article presents the considerations, configuration choices, concepts, and technology as well as the deployment and operation procedures that are required for achieving full continuous availability of your DB2® instance with Q Replication. This article specifically covers DB2 pureScale™, but all concepts and commands presented are equally applicable to any other DB2 system.
You can download this best practice paper from the IBM developerWorks® website: Combining IBM DB2 pureScale with Q Replication for scalability and business continuity.
Reduce management costs, add flexibility, and simplify storage management by using the IBM General Parallel File System (GPFS™) software. GPFS software is a high-performance shared-disk file management solution that provides fast, reliable access to a common set of file data. Data can be shared between as few as two computers or as many as hundreds of systems. A GPFS file system brings together mixed server and storage components to provide a common view of enterprise file data. Pairing GPFS file systems and DB2 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows databases creates a powerful platform for your high-performance database systems.
Use the DB2 databases and the IBM General Parallel File System paper to learn about the strategic benefits of GPFS software and the best practices for deploying it with DB2 software. You can download this best practice paper from the IBM developerWorks website: DB2 databases and the IBM General Parallel File System.
In this technical presentation webcast, IBM Senior Technical Staff Member and performance expert Steve Rees presents a thorough list of best practices to help you configure and monitor a DB2 pureScale environment for optimal performance. The first part of the presentation focuses on some key concepts about DB2 pureScale software to help you understand the configuration decisions you can make to setup your system to achieve optimal performance. The second part of the presentation dives into the topics of monitoring and tuning to ensure your DB2 pureScale environment continues to perform optimally as it grows.
