Re: DB2 image backup and DFSMSdss dataset backup

Previously I thought that DSS has short chain length I/O while DB2 image copy have long chain length I/O,so DB2 will use more channel resource than DSS backup, is it true? If the workload cause slow down of virtual tape storage, ie, saturating vitual tape storage front end channel,can I

We put DB2 databases in their own storage group, and don't take DSS backups. Same with IMS. Application needs to be shut down and use DB2 / IMS / Database backup methods. The ADRDSSU backup with the transaction going would probably not be in a consistent state, I.E. some parts include a specific

The db2 image backup is backing db2 data file online, while dss backups different datasets that are not part of db2 managed. But when they both write to same vritual tape devices, dss backup job slowed down by db2 image backup. Is there a method to prevent this while allow both jobs ran

Hello experts, Occasionally in my shop, DSS dataset backup will run concurrently with DB2 image backup, the targe devices are Oracle virtual tape storage, however, it is noticed that DSS backup will be slowed down by DB2 backup. For example, if DSS backup run indepently, it may run about 10
