DB2 Server for VM: System Administration

Migrating from Version 5 Release 1

Considerations for RDS Above 16M

After migration, the RDS component will be loaded above 16M whenever possible. As a result,

• If you use AMODE 24, you must use a maximum virtual storage size of 16MB.
• If you use saved segments, it is highly recommended that the RDS and DBSS segments not be put in the same segment space, as this would force the RDS segment to be located below 16M. See Using Saved Segments for Components.

Considerations for TCP/IP

In DB2 Server for VM Version 6 Release 1 and later, the database manager will attempt to use TCP/IP for communications by default. If you do not want to use TCP/IP, specify the initialization parameter TCPPORT=0.
