<h1 class="topictitle1">Checksum protection in a distributed relational database</h1>
<div><p>Checksum protection guards against data loss on any
disk in an auxiliary storage pool (ASP).</p>
<div class="section"><p>The checksum software maintains a coded copy of ASP data in special
checksum data areas within that ASP. Any changes made to permanent objects
in a checksum protected ASP are automatically maintained in the checksum data
of the checksum set. If any single disk unit in a checksum set is lost, the
server reconstructs the contents of the lost device using the checksum and
the data on the remaining functional units of the set. In this way, if any
one of the units fails, its contents can be recovered. This reconstructed
data reflects the most up-to-date information that was on the disk at the
time of the failure. Checksum protection can affect server performance significantly.
In a distributed relational database, this might be a concern.</p>
