An alternative to the command line interface, the Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 GUI allows you to manage the storage used by databases.
In this release, Veritas Storage Foundation for DB2 offers both a Java-based GUI and a Web-based GUI. The Web-based GUI does not contain the Database Dynamic Storage Tiering functionality or the scheduler functionality.
You can use the GUI to:
Display database, tablespace, container, and file system information and manage the database state.
Manage volume and file movement with Database Dynamic Storage Tiering. With this feature, you can also get reports on file usage. (Java-based GUI only.)
Create, display, mount, unmount, and remove Storage Checkpoints.
Automate tasks, such as creating or cloning a database using a Storage Checkpoint, with the scheduler. (Java-based GUI only.)
Collect and display statistics on file system and DB2 space usage.
Collect and display storage object I/O statistics and the storage structure.
Monitor file system and DB2 tablespace and container space usage and automatically grow the file system as needed.
Examine volumes used by the file systems and overall system configuration.
Start or stop instances or duplicate databases. You can duplicate a database using Storage Checkpoints or Database FlashSnap.
Create, resynchronize, or reverse resynchronize a snapshot database.
