This IBM® Redbooks® publication presents a best practices guide for DB2® and InfoSphereTM Warehouse performance on a AIX® 6L with Power SystemsTM virtualization environment. It covers Power hardware features such as PowerVMTM, multi-page support, Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) and how to best exploit them with DB2 LUW workloads for both transactional and data warehousing systems. The popularity and reach of DB2 and InfoSphere Warehouse has grown in recent years. Enterprises are relying more on these products for their mission-critical transactional and data warehousing workloads. It is critical that these products be supported by an adequately planned infrastructure. This publication offers a reference architecture to build a DB2 solution for transactional and data warehousing workloads using the rich features offered by Power systems. IBM Power Systems have been leading players in the server industry for decades. Power Systems provide great performance while delivering reliability and flexibility to the infrastructure. This book presents a reference architecture to build a DB2 solution for transactional and data warehousing workloads using the rich features offered by Power systems. It aims to demonstrate the benefits DB2 and InfoSphere Warehouse can derive from a Power Systems infrastructure and how Power Systems support these products. The book is intended as a guide for a Power Systems specialist to understand the DB2 and InfoSphere Warehouse environment and for a DB2 and InfoSphere Warehouse specialist to understand the facilities available for Power Systems supporting these products.

DB2 Workload Manager (WLM) introduces a significant evolution in the capabilities available to database administrators for controlling and monitoring executing work within DB2. This new WLM technology is directly incorporated into the DB2 engine infrastructure to allow handling higher volumes with minimal overhead. It is also enabled for tighter integration with external workload management products, such as those provided by AIX WLM. This IBM Redbooks publication discusses the features and functions of DB2 Workload Manager for Linux, UNIX, and Windows. It describes DB2 WLM architecture, components, and WLM-specific SQL statements. It demonstrates installation, WLM methodology for customizing the DB2 WLM environment, new workload monitoring table functions, event monitors, and stored procedures. It provides examples and scenarios using DB2 WLM to manage database activities in DSS and OLTP mixed database systems, so you learn about these advanced workload management capabilities and see how they can be used to explicitly allocate CPU priority, detect and prevent "runaway" queries, and closely monitor database activity in many different ways. Using Data Warehouse Edition Design Studio and DB2 Performance Expert with DB2 WLM is covered. Lastly, the primary differences between Workload Manager and Query Patroller are explained, along with how they interact in DB2 9.5.

Data is one the most critical and valuable assets of a business. Critical strategic decisions can be made more quickly and effectively when they are based on complete, accurate, and timely operational data. From this point of view, it is important to have an enterprise data management architecture that supports a flexible global view of the business. Many environments today are heterogeneous with a high quantity and diversity of data. In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we help enterprise architects and IT managers with these environments make decisions for a centralized database or data warehouse. We recommend a centralized data management environment on Linux® on System z®. We include guidance for IBM z/VSETM and Linux specialists to reorganize existing IBM DB2® VSE data and build a database environment with continuous operation in Linux on System z. We begin this book by describing the possibilities and advantages of enterprise data management and different technical ways to realize it. Then we discuss planning, which is important for setting the foundation of the architecture that is implemented. We explain the hardware considerations for capacity and performance planning. For the z/VSE system and Linux on System z, we describe considerations for operation in a logical partition (LPAR) and in a virtualized environment with IBM z/VM®. In addition, we discuss the disk behavior for different workloads, storage dependencies, network connections, and DB2 database considerations. We also guide you in customizing the DB2 server for z/VSE, z/VM, and DB2 on Linux to allow existing z/VSE and z/VM applications to access the database on Linux on System z. We include the data migration, application considerations, dependencies, compatibility, monitoring, and tuning possibilities in such an environment.
