This 3-page document provides an overview of database administration practices and procedures. It begins with an agenda that lists topics such as the roles and tasks of a DBA. The document then discusses what a DBA is and their responsibilities, which include database design, security, backups and more. It also covers related topics such as performance management, data availability, and database change management.
This document discusses the relationship between DB2 and storage management. It describes how DB2 uses storage through tablespaces, indexes, and other objects that are stored on disk as VSAM data sets. It also discusses how DB2 interacts with DFSMS to manage data sets and how storage groups and SMS can be used to simplify storage administration for DB2 objects. While DB2 provides storage management features, there is still a gap between DBA and storage administration that tools can help address.
This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on tips and techniques for DB2 for z/OS.

Populating your data center with new, more powerful and energy efficient servers can deliver numerous benefits to your organization. By consolidating multiple older servers onto a new platform, you can save in the areas of data center space and port costs, management costs, and power and cooling costs.
In our tests, we found that the Lenovo ThinkServer RD630 could consolidate the workloads of three HP ProLiant DL385 G5 servers, while increasing overall performance by 82.6 percent and reducing power consumption by 58.8 percent, making the ThinkServer RD630 an excellent choice to reduce the costs associated with running your data center.
This document discusses the relationship between DB2 and storage management on IBM mainframes. It begins by describing how DBAs and storage administrators typically have different focuses, with DBAs more focused on database objects and storage administrators focused on overall storage capacity. It then discusses how DB2 uses storage, including for tablespaces, indexes, logs, and backups. It also covers DB2's integration with DFSMS for storage management capabilities like storage groups, data placement, and space management. Finally, it discusses how modern storage architectures have reduced the importance of careful data set placement that was previously recommended for database performance.
The Dell PowerEdge R920 could replace nine older Oracle database servers and provide nine times the performance while reducing power consumption by 64% and lowering software licensing costs by 17%. Testing showed the R920 running Oracle Database 12c with pluggable databases provided significant savings over three years in power, cooling, and licensing costs compared to running the databases on nine older servers.
Whether youre looking for the highest possible performance per rack unit or the strongest RAS-enabled server to run your mission-critical databases, Dell has a server to meet your needs. Factors such as performance per rack, expansion capabilities, and flash storage options will also drive your server decision.
In our hands-on tests, we found that the Dell PowerEdge R820 server could handle up to 382,397 database orders per minute and had 73.6 percent greater performance per U of rack space than the R910.
The Dell PowerEdge R910 processed 440,475 OPM. Its high number of logical processors, maximum expansion capabilities, and support for RAS technologies make the Dell PowerEdge R910 an excellent choice for your mission-critical data center applications.
Dell PowerEdge R930 with Oracle: The benefits of upgrading to PCIe storage us...Principled Technologies
油
Strong server performance is essential to companies running Oracle Database. The new Dell PowerEdge R930 provided strong performance with 22 SAS HDDs, but this performance improved when we replaced all of the drives with SAS solid-state drives. It improved further when we used a mix of HDDs and SDDs along with SanDisk DAS Cache. We saw the greatest performance boost when we used eight PCIe SSDs with SanDisk DAS Cache. The upgraded configuration of the Dell PowerEdge R930 with PCIe SSDs and SanDisk DAS Cache delivered 11.1 times the database performance of the all-HDD configuration. This makes the new Dell PowerEdge R930 a powerful platform with scalable storage options that can potentially translate into significant service improvements for your business and your customers, which helps in maximizing ROI.

DB2 for z/OS update seminar focused on Bankdata's experiences testing DB2 10 during the beta process. Key items tested included hash access to data, XML engine schema validation, XML multi-versioning, and other new features. Testing revealed surprises around administrative overhead and challenges completing performance tests. Results showed hash access provided CPU savings compared to non-hash access when data is relatively static. XML schema validation was moved to the engine for improved performance.
As our tests show, investing in the powerful new Dell PowerEdge R920 running Oracle VM Server 3.2.8 with Oracle Database 12c VMs achieves cost savings without compromising performance. In our testing, a single Dell PowerEdge R920 could perform five times the work of a single HP ProLiant DL385 G6 server; the costs to power and cool the Dell PowerEdge would be 43 percent less than the five servers it could replace. The three-year software licensing costs of the Dell PowerEdge R920 server would be 22 percent lower than the licensing costs for the five-server solution. These dramatic savingswhich come out to $212,091 for our single test environment could grow to millions of dollars in a larger consolidation effort.
IBM DB2 Analytics Accelerator Trends & Directions by Namik Hrle Surekha Parekh

Workstation heat and power usage: Lenovo ThinkStation P500 vs. HP Z440 Workst...Principled Technologies
油
A workstation that runs coolly and uses less power is a great asset to workers and the companies they work for. In our tests, both when idle and when under load, the Lenovo ThinkStation P500 generally ran at lower surface temperatures and used less power than the HP Z440 Workstation. These findings show that the Lenovo ThinkStation P500 could meet the needs of those who want to provide a reliable, comfortable work environment while using less power.
The document discusses DB2's use of storage on the mainframe. It notes that DB2 uses VSAM data sets to store tablespaces, indexes, and other objects. These data sets can be managed by DB2 storage groups or SMS. Storage groups are lists of volumes where data sets are placed. The document recommends letting DB2 manage data sets using storage groups for less administrative work, but with less control, or defining your own data sets for more control but more work. It also provides details on where to find storage-related information in the DB2 catalog.
Dell PowerEdge M520 server solution: Energy efficiency and database performancePrincipled Technologies

As energy prices continue to rise, building a power-efficient data center that does not sacrifice performance is vital to organizations looking to keep costs down while keeping application performance high. Choosing servers that pair high performance with new power-efficient technologies helps you do so. In our tests, the Dell PowerEdge M520 with Dell EqualLogic PS-M4110 arrays outperformed the HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 server with HP StorageWorks D2200sb arrays by 113.5 percent in OPM. Not only did the Dell PowerEdge M520 blade server solution deliver higher overall performance, it also did so more efficiently, delivering 79.9 percent better database performance/watt than the HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 solution.
Comparing Dell Compellent network-attached storage to an industry-leading NAS...Principled Technologies
油
A flexible NAS solution addresses many organizational challenges from server backup to hosting production applications and databases. Advanced NAS solutions such as the Intel Xeon processor-based Dell Compellent FS8600 NAS provide flexibility and scalability, allowing various use options as well as drive options throughout its lifecycle. This scale and flexibility enables an organization to alleviate performance bottlenecks anywhere in the organization simply by reallocating or adding more disk resources.
We found that the Intel Xeon processor-based Dell Compellent FS8600 NAS solution backed up a small-file corpus up to 15.9 percent faster and a large-file corpus up to 17.1 percent faster than a similarly configured, industry-leading NAS solution. This means that selecting the Dell Compellent FS8600 NAS has the potential to help optimize an organizations infrastructure.
