As others have said technically yes you can do it. As already mentioned there are things to think about. Structure size for the shared buffer pools and the lock structures. What type of CF links to you have and do you have enough of them. The location of the CF lpars may come into play. The includes the type of process the CFs are running on and how many engines do the CFs have.. Are you going to have DB2 handle duplexing the structures or do you want the CF to do it?

I think the only factor I can see, without knowing your complex would be if the CFRM policy, if any has been built at the appropriate CFC level to support both processors and you have enough storage defined for the CF's to support DB2 data sharing. > > Peter > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send > email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the > message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
