Hello,
I have a client running db2 udb 7.2 workgroup , FP10a on a Windows 200
server with 4GB of memory.
The database is 25GB big, but from that maybe 50% is current data. My issue
is that we are noticing that DB2 is only using about 100-150mb of RAM on the
server. This is a productrion machine with 50-75 of transactions a minute
on the database. Now flaming me about using W2k as the OS, we have running
similar testes on SUSE 9 with 4GB of RAM as well with the same results.
Here is the Kicker! ON the old database server with only 1GB of RAM, the OS
(Win2K or Linux) would use 600MB (and up) of RAM for the database.
WHAT IS GOING ON?
I have read about the theoretical 1.75gb (WINDOWS) or 1GB (LINUX) memory
restrictions for DB2. Is that the answer? Does DB2 7.2 run better on a
machine with less ram? I find that hard to believe....but if you DB2 genie
out there say that is the case...then i guess that is the case!
Any help would be greatly welcomed! Or at least guidance towards a possible
solution. Has anyone else come into such a problem? IS ESTORE the answer?
More info....
4GB RAM
2 XEON Hyperthread CPUs
Pleanty of HD space
WIN2k and SUSE9 tested.
One more thing, I have ran the configuration wizard and have even tried
manualy setting the settings to values that would seem appropriate, either
nothing happens or the RAM will shoot up to 1GB, however the CPU's shoot to
100% too (sounds like paging).
TIA everyone who helps

The main user of memory is the buffer pool(s). You said that you used the
configuration wizard but didn't say what the buffer pool size is.
As you noted, DB2 has memory limits on 32 bit operating systems, but that
does not mean that a system with less memory will have memory allocated for
DB2 (except on a percentage basis). Also, how much real memory is free
(available) before DB2 is started?
BTW, FP11 is now available.

Thanks for the reply,
The buffer pool is set to the maximum alocated size. However it does not
realy allocate that amount of memory. is the limitation per bufferpool? I
mean if I manually create more than 1 bufferpool, can I have two 1.75GB
bufferpools?
I tried FP11 on our test server..didn't fix do anything memory wise.

I don't know what "maximum allocated size" means. Buffer pools are defined
in a number of pages for a page size. Page size can be 4K, 8K, 16K, or 32K.
To figure out the amount of memory used for the buffer pools, multiply the
number of pages times the pages size. You should not define the buffer pools
(and other DB2 memory needed) higher than the amount of available real
memory for your system (or more than DB2 can address on that OS).
You can stop DB2 and look at the amount of available windows memory to
figure out how much is available for you to allocate to DB2. As I said, be
careful not to exceed the amount of real memory available (do not consider
virtual memory). Also, as you noted, only a portion of the 4GB can be
addressed by DB2.
You "may" be able to define two 1.75 GB bufferpools, but I don't think they
will use real memory and that is not good.
Remember, in addition to buffer pools, DB2 needs memory for other uses, so
take that into account. I would suggest that you use the configuration
wizard to help you with memory allocation.
1.75 GB is the limit on 32-bit AIX. You should be able to use 3 GB for
the bufferpool on Windows (requires Windows Advanced Server I believe
and larger pagers for the DB2 bufferpool and tablespaces - i.e. 8k).

Hi,
I am wondering if the bufferpools and agent memory canbe shared within
a EE UDB instance (running 7.2 AIX 5 now but going to V8.1). Our
business model requires us to add about 1-2 db's per month (one db per
customer), and this consume the memory.
Some of these dbs are not highly active but once a db is activated, at
least the bufferpools are allocated along with the init_pool of
agents. Is there a way for bufferpools and agents be...

hi, we are using db2 udb v8.1 for windows, i have changed the buffer
pool size to accommadate better performance, say size 200000, if i
have multiple connection to the same database from application
server, will each connection take the memory 800M (200000 x 4k = 800
M), so the memory took will be 800M times number of connections, or
the total memory get from bufferpool will be 800M?

When I did db2batch to benchmark a query, it performance details came
back with this reading ...
"High water mark for database heap = 4291373408"
Does this mean it would have caused memory thrashing at the server?
Did I over-allocate resources.
We just increased BuffPage to 16384 from its default of 1000. Pagesize
of the bufferpool was of course set to -1 so it would use the DBM cfg

Folks,
I am using DB2 UDB 8.1 on RedHat ES 2.1. In order to improve performance
of one of our table, I would like to preload some or all of the data into

Is there a way to do it?

Hi!
This may seems to be a stupid question but I can't figure out how
configuration of more than 4 GB memory on Windows works.
dbset db2_awe=1,<number of physical pages>, <number of address windows>
The first parameter is bufferpool id.

Hi folks,
I'm after some guidelines on general memory allocations for DB2 8.2.2
ESE on Win2k Server FP4 with 4gb physical memory.
Seeing as everything is 32bit and win2k server does not support /3gb
switch, we are restricted memory wise for allocating memory to
db2syscs.exe to around 1.75gb so I understand, what are the general
rules of thumb for assigning memory ?
