DB2 Purescale

[Former Member]

I understand DB2 purescale is not supported on LUW running x86. If that's correct, would there be an alternative/best practices of how to scale DB2 on LUW/x86?

Hello,

DB2 pureScale is supported on Linux x86 64 Bit. See e.g.

Installation prerequisites for DB2 pureScale Feature (Linux).
