Set up multiple independent user databases on your iSeries™. This topic describes how to use independent disk pools to configure multiple databases.
With iSeries servers, you can work with multiple databases. The iSeries server provides a system database (often referred to as SYSBAS) and the ability to work with one or more user databases. User databases are implemented on the iSeries server through the use of independent disk pools, which are set up in the Disk Management function of iSeries Navigator. After an independent disk pool is set up, it appears as another database under the Databases function of iSeries Navigator.
When you expand an iSeries server in iSeries Navigator and then expand Databases, a list of databases appears that you can work with. To establish a connection to a database, expand the database that you want to work with.
