configuration advisor on buffer pool size

hi, we are using db2 udb v8.1 on windows, i try to use the
configuration advisor to get recommendation on the parameter setting,
at first, i give the target memory for DB2 is 80% of the physical
memory, it gives me a recommendation on bufferpool size, so i accept
the change, later on , i found that i gave too much memory to DB2, so
i change the target lower, but the recommendation doesn't change the
buffer pool size accordingly, why is that? thanks

one thing i noticed is that i used control center change the
bufferpool size IBMfefaultfb from 437471 to 250000, but the get db cfg
still gives me 437471, so which value DB2 is using? i am confusing

If you want to change the bufferpool size, alter each of the bufferpools. Do
not use the default parameter.

this is what i do, i go to control center, right click buffer pools,
do alter, then change the size. i saw the size changed, but once i db
cfg , i still get the old size value

xixi,

that's it.

The buffpage is the default if you create a new bufferpool and put a -1 in
the field,
so the bufferpool created will take the buffpage from db cfg.

On the other side, if you create an bufferpool wih a really size, not -1 you
have
a bufferpool with this size.

Joachim Müller

no, i am not creating a new bufferpool, i am change the bufferpool
size of ibmdefaultbf. in control center, you can have option to change
the size, and i saw the size changed immediately , but not under
configuraion parameter buffpage. i still don't understand why they
aren't consistent, i have to restart the instance in order to change
buffpage parameter to make the same as i alter the size of
ibmdefaultbf.

xixi,

if you want to change the db cfg buffpage parameter you have to update

db2 update db cfg for <db-name> using buffpage <size in 4k pages>

and then update the ibmdefaultbp in the CC to -1.

I think you have to stop and start the instance or disconnect all.

In a DB2 V8.1 performance tuning document from a 3rd party vendor, I found this statement. Can anyone verify this? "DB2 requires 100 bytes of memory for every buffer pool and extended storage page that is allocated to a database for use as a descriptor in the database heap, so the size of the DBHEAP configuration parameter should be considered before creating large buffer pools. For example, a 1 gigabyte buffer pool with a page size of 4...
