This section shows the suggested amount of memory that is required to run a DB2 product. The memory requirements listed here are estimates; the actual amounts required depend on the functions you are using. Use this information to plan for systems with a large number of concurrent clients or databases.
For information about memory requirements during the day-to-day operations of your databases, refer to the Administration Guide.
Complete the provided worksheet in Table 1 and calculate the approximate values for memory that
your system will require.
Table 1. Memory Requirements for DB2 Universal Database
Number of Clients Connecting to a Server | |
___ 5 Concurrent Connections | 32 MB |
___ 10 Concurrent Connections | 40 MB |
___ 25 Concurrent Connections | 48 MB |
___ 50 Concurrent Connections | 88 MB |
___ DB2 Administration Tools | 30 MB |
Total Memory Requirements | __ MB |
The amount of memory you require to run a DB2 Run-Time Client is approximately 16 MB. If you are planning to run a DB2 Administration Client, your client workstation should have approximately 32 MB of available memory.
