Optimizing IBM DB2 for Solaris 10 1/06 OS on Sun Fire T2000 Server

This article is for users planning to deploy DB2 on the Solaris 10 platform using a Sun Fire T2000 server.
The information here is based on experiments carried out on DB2 with the Solaris 10 OS on the Sun Fire T2000 server in Sun's Market Development Engineering (MDE) and Strategic Applications Engineering (SAE) Labs in Burlington, Massachusetts. These tests used various workloads to identify configurations that allow the right mix of performance and ease-of-use. Results may vary for other users and environments.
Tips are provided here to help system administrators and DBAs optimize DB2 deployed with the Solaris 10 OS and the Sun Fire T2000 architecture.

Although this is flexible, this creates many unnecessary problems. In particular, this lack of limitations makes it unnecessarily difficult to write correct programs (enabling many security flaws), makes it impossible to consistently and accurately display filenames, causes portability problems, and confuses users. more ....

Multi-Boot Disk for Machines With AMD Opteron Processors

This article presents step-by-step procedures for loading the Solaris 10 OS on x86 platforms, and one or two 64-bit Linux operating systems, on machines based on 64-bit AMD Opteron processors. Installations were done on generic Opteron-based workstations and confirmed on a Sun Fire V20z server and Sun Java Workstation W1100z and W2100z workstations.
