54 Data Sharing in a Nutshell
3.3.1 Group buffer pools (GBP) or user-managed pools
Group buffer pool duplexing was introduced in DB2 V5, in the late 1990s. It was

other alternatives at the time.
WIthout duplexing, there are two conditions that can occur if there is a disruption
to the CF or its connections:
Condition 1: If there is connectivity lost between a CF and one of the
members of the data sharing group, but there is at least one other member
that can read the GBP, the condition is detected automatically by a DB2 with
connectivity. If the STRUCTURE REBUILDPERCENT parameter is coded
(we recommend 1%) and it is less than the SFM weight, then a DB2 with
connectivity ...
