Redpaper Disk storage access with DB2 for z/OS

Bonjour,

IBM vient de mettre à disposition un nouveau Redpaper DB2 intitulé, "Disk storage access with DB2 for z/OS , REDP-4187-00" :
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redpieces/abstracts/redp4187.html?Open

Résumé
DB2 integrates with the storage management software and continues to deliver synergy with FICON (fiber connector) channels and disk storage features. DB2 uses Parallel Access Volume and Multiple Allegiance features of the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Storage Server (ESS) and DS8000.FlashCopy V2 helps increase the availability of your data while running the CHECK INDEX SHRLEVEL(CHANGE) utility. DB2 integrates with z/OS 1.5 to deliver the system point in time recovery capability, a solution applicable to recovery, disaster recovery, or environment cloning needs. ESS and DS8000 FlashCopy is used for DB2 BACKUP and RESTORE SYSTEM utilities which implement the solution.Larger control interval sizes help performance with table space scans as well as resolving some data integrity issues. Striping is an effective way of increasing sequential throughput by spreading control intervals across multiple devices.In this redpaper we discuss disk hardware architecture, disk functions, SMS, DNZPARMs relating to storage management, Utilities and FlashCopy, the MIDAW facility - Improved channel architecture
