Preparing the DB2 database server

Edit online

This topic describes how the database server was set up.

As outlined in the System Under Test (SUT) overview, the DB2® database server is set up in its own LPAR.

IBM® DB2 Enterprise Server Edition Version 9.7 was used on the database server.

Note: The configuration is tailored for a Linux® server with 8 CPUs and 8 GB memory. The database server is set up so that it does not become a performance bottleneck for the SUT. The database server tuning steps are outlined in more detail on the next pages.
