The system provides a system database (identified as SYSBAS) and the ability to work with one or more user databases.
User databases are implemented 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 in the Databases folder of iSeries Navigator.
When you expand a system in iSeries Navigator and then expand Databases, a list of databases that you can work with is shown. To establish a connection to a database, expand the database that you want to work with.
