agent bufferpool hit ratio

Using the new snapshot function in version 8 I have come across something
interesting.

When computing the bufferpool hit ratio and tablespace buffer pool hit
ratio, both of these show up as very low (< 2%) for a large table (MDC)
(400+ million rows) upon which full table scans are performed.

When running a query against the table which performs a full table scan (get
a count of all MDC cells by partition), I see that the bp hit ratio is very
high for the agent.

I can think of only 1 possible explanation for this. It would be that the
prefetchers (which are working quite well as async read requests are 95%)
are doing the I/O and that the agent servicing the query does not have to do
this I/O.

Can anyone validate/contradict or otherwise shed light on this. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi, I have got a problem with resizing the bufferpool of a DB2 v.8.2 instance. The DB2 runs on an AIX 5.x platform. Problem is that an "ALTER BUFFERPOOL ..." command is not persistent if the database is stopped with the db2stop and restarted with the db2start command.

Folks, I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but We have an transaction that does some serious calculation on small chink of data over and over again. It selects few rows from the table several times and does different calculations. It was taking about 45 seconds to run. I thought that moving the file to its own tablespace and giving it large bufferpool would improve the performance. I experienced exactly opposite, the

HI Every body , I would like to know whether is it mandatory to give Tablespace page size and Bufferpool page size equal..? i also heard like while creating tablespace if pages size of tablespace and bufferpool , the statement itself will fail ...why i'm asking is if we chose a different page size ( ofcourse less than bufferpool page size ) only it shoud affect the performance of db2 .. Thanks in Advance Raja Shekar

hello, admin guide says that pool_data_p_reads - pool_async_data_reads will give me number of physical reads that were performed synchronously (that is, physical data page reads that were performed by database manager agents). I assume then pool_data_p_reads should give total value of all reads ( synchronous + asynchronous ) i see values for pool_async_data_reads more than pool_data_p_reads in

In 9.1 and 9.5 (Linux 64 bit) when a buffer pool is set to self- tuning, how are blocks configured in respect to blocked vs non-blocked when self-tuning is set to on? (ie) I have one bufferpool that is 16k that the IBMDEFAULTBP is shared between all tablespaces. The data tablespace has prefetch automatic set to on.
