Creating Hot Snapshots and Standby Databases with IBM® DB2 Universal Database V7.2 and EMC TimeFinder
Overview Mission-critical database systems must operate 24x7 with the highest degree of availability possible. As databases increase in size and adhoc queries place more demands on the continued availability of the system, the time and hardware resources required to backup and recover databases grows substantially while the maintenance windows are either drastically reduced or disappear completely. The instant split feature of EMC TimeFinder software and the Database Suspend I/O features available in IBM® DB2 Universal Database (UDB) combine to provide highly available, advanced database technical architectures to meet these demands. We demonstrate the use of these features to create a coherent copy of a continuously available DB2 UDB database to meet the increasing availability requirements demanded in today's business environment. This paper takes you through a sample configuration setup and usage of IBM DB2 UDB Enterprise Edition (EE) V7.2 with EMC TimerFinder.
