|

|
|
<div><p>DB2
|
||
|
|
Universal Database™ for iSeries™ automatically spreads the data across the
|
||
|
|
disk devices available in the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) where the data
|
||
|
|
is allocated. This ensures that the data is spread without user intervention. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The spreading allows the database manager to easily process the blocks
|
||
|
|
of rows on different disk devices in parallel. Even though DB2
|
||
|
|
Universal Database for iSeries spreads data across disk devices within an
|
||
|
|
ASP, sometimes the allocation of the data extents (contiguous sets of data)
|
||
|
|
might not be spread evenly. This occurs when there is uneven allocation of
|
||
|
|
space on the devices, or when a new device is added to the ASP. The allocation
|
||
|
|
of the table data space may be spread again by saving, deleting, and then
|
||
|
|
restoring the table.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Maintaining an even distribution of data across all of the disk devices
|
||
|
|
can lead to better throughput on query processing. The number of disk devices
|
||
|
|
used and how the data is spread across these devices is taken into account
|
||
|
|
by the optimizer while costing the different plan permutations. </p>
