DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC87449 Status: Closed

POTENTIAL SLOW LOAD PERFORMANCE WITH MDC/RP TABLE AND GPFS DUE TO
MISALIGNED MEMORY BUFFER

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / A10 - DB2
Problem description:
When running DB2 LOAD operations into MDC and/or Range 
Partitioned tables that reside on GPFS file system, we might see 
slow performance together with high GPFS CPU usage.  This is 
caused by some LOAD code using "non-aligned memory buffer" to do 
GPFS Direct I/O. 
 
(Similar code problem potentially exists for regular (non-MDC 
and non-RP) tables, but to a much smaller extent; in practice 
there should be negligible performance issue with regular 
tables.)
