<h1 class="topictitle1">How DB2 Multisystem
|
|
helps you expand your database system</h1>
|
|
<div><p>By using distributed relational database files, you can more easily
|
|
expand the configuration of your <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span> servers.</p>
|
|
<p>Before the DB2<sup>®</sup> Multisystem, if you wanted to go from
|
|
one system to two systems, you had several database problems to solve. If
|
|
you moved one-half of your users to a new system, you might also want to move
|
|
one-half of your data to that new system. This then forces you to rewrite
|
|
all of your database-related applications, because the applications must know
|
|
where the data resides. After rewriting the applications, you must use some
|
|
remote access, such as Distributed Relational
|
|
Database Architecture™ (DRDA<sup>®</sup>) or distributed data management (DDM), to access
|
|
the files across systems. Otherwise, some data replication function would
|
|
be used. If you did do this, then multiple copies of the data would exist,
|
|
more storage would be used, and the systems would also do the work of keeping
|
|
the multiple copies of the files at concurrent levels.</p>
|
|
<p>With DB2 Multisystem, the process of adding new systems to
|
|
your configuration is greatly simplified. The database files are partitioned
|
|
across the systems. Then the applications are moved to the new system. The
|
|
applications are unchanged; you do not need to make any programming changes
|
|
to your applications. Your users can now run on the new system and immediately
|
|
have access to the same data. If more growth is needed later, you can redistribute
|
|
the files across the new node group that includes the additional
|
|
systems.</p>
