68 IBM ESS and IBM DB2 UDB Working Together
5.5 Using a configuration/mapping database
Once you have established a process for documenting the configuration data from the ESS,
AIX and DB2 UDB systems, you can then make use of the combined information to provide a
more tailored view of your system and how you use it.
For example, the configuration data can be joined with iostat information to provide a view of
not only which I/O adapters are being used, but rates of data transfer they are achieving. The
data can also be used to show which volume group, data partition or tablespace is providing
that workload.
