DB2 - pureScale Implementation & Management for DB2 LUW Administrators Training Course and Workshop in Bangalore, Mysore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Kolkata

The DB2 - pureScale Implementation & Management for DB2 LUW Administrators training course is intended to help you prepare to plan, implement and provide on-going support for a DB2 pureScale database cluster. The course explains the differences between a DB2 pureScale database and the standard DB2 LUW database system running on a single host system. You are expected to have experience working with DB2 LUW databases on UNIX, Microsoft Windows or Linux systems.

By attending DB2 - pureScale Implementation & Management for DB2 LUW Administrators workshop, delegates will learn to:

Describe the major functional components of a DB2 pureScale database cluster
Explain how Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is used to efficiently process requests within a DB2 pureScale database
Describe the use of local and group buffer pools for reading pages with pureScale
Configure the Cluster Caching Facility options to support shared memory for buffer pool and global locking
Describe the workload balancing and automatic client routing options used for application connections to a pureScale database
Plan the installation of DB2 pureScale software for a database cluster
Estimate Cluster Caching Facility (CF) CPU and memory resources that will be needed to support your databases in the cluster
Migrate an existing DB2 database system to a DB2 pureScale clustered environment
Configure database manager and database member options for a DB2 pureScale cluster
List the steps required to migrate an existing DB2 database system to a DB2 pureScale cluster
Invoke the db2iupdt command to add or remove database members or cluster caching facilities from the cluster
Monitor the buffer pool efficiency of local and group buffer pools
Implement transaction-level workload balancing for application client systems to improve cluster resource usage
Explain the difference between Member Crash Recovery and Group Crash Recovery
Describe the use of multiple log streams for database members of a pureScale database
Use the db2cluster command to add and drop disk devices with DB2 managed GPFS file systems
Use the db2instance and db2cluster commands to show the current status and alter information for database members and cluster hosts
Query the DB2 cluster status using SQL functions and views
