IBM Db2 with BLU Acceleration Pattern for virtual systems
IBM® Db2® with BLU Acceleration® Pattern is a plug-in that you can use to deploy database patterns and administer database instances on the virtual machines in the system. The plug-in contains default database patterns that you can immediately deploy, or you can create customized database patterns if you want to customize the configuration settings. Using database patterns can help you to eliminate the redundancies and issues that can result from manually creating database instances repeatedly.
The following Db2 versions are
supported in IBM Cloud Pak System:
- For 2.3.3.6 interim fix 1
-
- In IBM Cloud Pak System or IBM Cloud Pak System Software offerings
- The Db2 license is not included with
Db2 pattern type for IBM Cloud Pak System and IBM Cloud Pak System offerings. You must bring your
own Db2 license (BYOL).
- New deployments
- You must bring your own license (BYOL) and must provide it during deployment. From the IBM Cloud Pak System user interface, under the DB2 Server section, upload the compressed license file in DB2 License File.
