Independent auxiliary storage pool

 

Independent disk pools are used to set up user databases on the system.

There are three types of independent disk pools: primary, secondary, and user-defined file system (UDFS). Primary independent disk pools are used to set up databases.

You can work with multiple databases. The system provides a system database (often referred to as SYSBAS) and the ability to work with one or more user databases. User databases are implemented on the system through the use of independent disk pools, which are set up in the disk management function of iSeries™ Navigator. After an independent disk pool is set up, it appears as another database under the Databases function of iSeries Navigator.
