<div><p>This topic describes the fundamental concepts of DB2<sup>®</sup> Multisystem,
such as distributed relational database files, node groups, and partitioning,
and provides the information necessary to create and to use database files
that are partitioned across multiple <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> servers.
Information is provided on how to configure the systems, how to create the
files, and how the files can be used in applications. This topic also describes
table partitioning. Table partitioning varies from multisystem partitioning
in that it is a table partitioned on a single server.</p>
