Los Angeles, United States Luytens Technology Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description
  • Monitoring of GUI Console with all Db2M environments in the control center and monitoring of critical/alert messages to QSYSOPR to any Db2M errors.& & These alerts would be for catastrophic events like Db2M suspended or node failure etc.& &
  • Backup processes.&
  • Run processes to execute FlashCopy for off-line backup.
  • Run / monitor off-line backups.
  • Expert labs have provided the process for taking backups via a FlashCopy for saving to tape.& If an error occurs with this process, then skills with PowerHA will be required to deal it with the issue.&
  • Collecting data via QMGTTOOLS and Job watcher as required by IBM for supporting the environment.
  • Monitor job log reporting for error conditions.& &
  • Execute job-log monitor tool and collect data over all jobs.
  • Performance - Use iDoctor to analyze performance issues that may arise from the active-active.& As time goes on and new major application versions are released,& it is important to keep Db2 mirror in mind for best practices for performance.
  • Staff running performance monitoring will minimally need to know how to look at wait buckets and call stacks well to look for socket receive times that may indicate a higher-than-expected delay on the target side. They also need to be good at identifying which target job or jobs are& being used by the source jobs, to see the complete picture of a job's performance. More detailed analysis will require the ability to collect and analyze PEX logical database I/O (*DBIO) traces.
  • Additional monitoring support (there are SQL services and CL commands provided by Expert labs to assist with the monitoring of these features):
  • All nodes active in clustering
  • Cluster resource groups active ( IP takeover)&
  • errors on the object tracking list
  • all network resource groups active ( Db2M over RoCE )
& Advanced Support associated with Event Management:&
  • Object out of sync/in error condition...& if it is file,& how to trace the dependencies on the object and correctly remove all dependencies before fixing the issue.& This is most likely to occur on a resync which would prevent the resync from completing.
  • Tracing issues between nodes.& Db2M uses jobs on both nodes to complete a transaction and knowledge of how to identify dependent jobs is necessary to debug Db2M application issues.
  • Resync...& how to review a resync and determine the impact if any to running operations,& how to prioritize objects for resync if necessary
  • Performance of resync - this is a key process to get back into active-active,& experience on how to monitor for errors that could hold this process up and deal with the issue is very important.
  • Role swap (for maintenance) - A role swap can be a complicated process to ensure the Db2M nodes are swapped, then the IP's switched,& then the node carefully taken offline for PTFs or maintenance
  • Role swap unplanned - this is a worst-case scenario due to a system loss...& & how to deal with ensuring everything has switched correctly as well as all aspects of returning Db2 Mirror to operational after the system returns.
  • Manage the replication criteria list correctly as new objects are added/removed from the environment.& This is very important as altering the RCL incorrectly can result in unnecessary index builds on the target or even Db2 Mirror suspending.
  • Reclone process - SYSBAS.& The reclone of a SYSBAS for CVS will always be a soft reclone to avoid changing any of the system identity or APP in system& ( like BRMS, Aldon etc. ).& & The soft reclone will only push the changes to objects in system like user profiles etc. to the other node.& &
  • Reclone process - IASP.& A reclone of the IASP is ~700TB of data and must be performed via storage disk to disk copy.& The process is documented by IBM Expert labs and must be done extremely carefully ensuring that each step is follow carefully to ensure a clean copy of data on the target node.
  • Change configuration - a change in configuration will require changes to the reclone documentation - especially the PPRC scripts,& as well as a slightly different process in the reclone of an IASP.
  • Add/remove NRGs,& change management IP addresses,& etc.& There are many configuration changes that will require changes in the Db2 Mirror/Cluster setup to reflect the changes correctly.& &
