Converting regular containers to Quick I/O Files
VERITAS Storage Foundation for DB2 provides an option to convert your regular datafiles to Quick I/O files to improve performance.
Prerequisites
|
Files you want to convert must be regular containers on VxFS file systems or links that point to regular VxFS files. |
Usage notes
|
Converting existing containers to be Quick I/O files may not be the optimal thing to do if these files are fragmented.
You can only convert DMS containers. This operation is not supported on SMS containers.

Note: |
Quick I/O is not supported on Linux. |
