<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>
