DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC67324 Status: Closed

DB2START MAY TIME OUT ON A VERY LARGE SCALE SYSTEM, WHEN TRYING TO RETRIEVE
THE PROCESSOR THREADING DEGREE OF THE SERVER.

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 970 - DB2
Problem description:
During db2start on the AIX platform, DB2 retrieves various 
information about the system it's running on, including the 
processor threading degree of the CPU(s).  The mechanism to 
retrieve this information can be slow on a very large scale 
system, which may result in db2start failure due to a time out. 
The fix for this APAR will use a more efficient mechanism to 
retrieve the same info. 
 
 
Note that the symptom of this problem is observed in db2start, 
but is not limited to it.  Any time the processor threading 
degree is retrieved, DB2 will be slow.  Also note that this 
symptom is limited to the AIX platform.
