Maintenance in a Db2 pureScale environment

One of the advantages of the IBM® Db2 pureScale Feature is that it maintains continuous availability of the database during planned maintenance activities.

Db2 cluster services allows you to perform rolling maintenance on the members and cluster caching facilities in your Db2 pureScale instance.

In IBM Data Studio Version 3.1 or later, you can use the task assistant for putting or removing target hosts from maintenance mode. Task assistants can guide you through the process of setting options, reviewing the automatically generated commands to perform the task, and running these commands.
