We are going to build a DB2 server on a new P570 server for a data
warehouse project. Since the size of the data warehouse is less than
200G, the DB2 server is only assigned 5/10th shared CPU. In this case,
how many DB2 license we should purchase, also how many CPU should be
used when run the "db2licm" command?

Anyone has experience on this? Any helps will be much appreciated.

The answer is: it depends on how you've configured the system.

See:

But the best answer is to talk to your IBM data management sales rep.

This link is very helpful. Thanks.

My understanding is, we could use two 0.1 CPU simutenously which act
as 2 CPUs and only buy one DB2 license. ( "capped" is configured in our
server)
