Chapter 6. Diagnostics and performance
monitoring
There are many components of an Enterprise Database Server: the host computer, the
operating system, logical volume management software, multipathing software, I/O
interconnects (possibly Fibre SAN), network hardware and software, DB2, the ESS
management and analysis software, and of course the ESS itself. Unfortunately, there is no
single tool you can use to track storage and diagnose problems across all of these
components.
In this chapter we discuss some of the tools available, and show you how and when they can
or should be used.
