 Rule Identifier:  BR3         Rule Version:  5.3         DB2:  DHY2

 To control by individual buffer pool:  Click here

 Rule Description:

 A significant I/O rate, sequential access is medium,
 virtual pool residency time is less than 30 seconds, and the
 system hit ratio is less than 70%.

 The action taken by this rule increases the size of the buffer pool by
 10% (default), to a maximum of 125% (default) of the original buffer
 pool size. These default increment and maximum values can be overridden
 by modifying the SIZE_bpid_INC and SIZE_bpid_MAX values in the variable
 repository.

 Execution Mode:      Manual     Click here to set automatic mode.

 Rule Ignored:        No         Click here to ignore this rule.

 Times Triggered:     1          Click here to reset this counter.

From the Rule Details panel, perform one of the following actions:

  • If you want to apply the rule to individual buffer pools, click next to the To control by individual buffer pool field. The following figure shows an example of the Apply rules by buffer pool panel.
  • If you feel comfortable letting the product automatically issue the command that is associated with this rule whenever the rule is triggered, you can change the execution mode to Automatic on this panel.
  • If you do not want a recommendation to be triggered when the condition that is associated with this rule exists, you can choose to ignore the rule whenever the condition that is associated with the rule is detected.
  • To be notified whenever the condition exists, leave the execution mode set to Manual and do not choose to ignore the rule.
