Hello Mark,

I am running FP2a.

DB2 is stable, but the Bufferpool is very small (STMM will not
increase it with the kernel parameters suggested by Infocenter).

Thanks for you feedback.

Both of these situations sound strange to me. We have many customers
that are using STMM to tune multiple bufferpools and are very happy
with the results. I personally, have also run a ton of testing with
multiple buffer pools and have not encountered a situation where a
system has crashed as a result of the tuning.

If you could respond to me directly with your db2diag.log file and
your stmm logs (in the stmmlog directory), I can look into both of
these situations to see what's going wrong.

Thanks,
Adam

HI Michel,

In your post you said, with infocenter parameters STMM will not
increase bufferpools.

What are kernel values that we should use to make STMM change the
bufferpools? I am having the similar problem
