DB2 Advanced Copy Services (ACS) best practices

Consider the following best practices when installing and configuring DB2® Advanced Copy Services (ACS).

Specify a dedicated volume group for log paths
It is recommended that the log paths be contained within their own snapshot volume independent from the database directory and database containers.
Specify one volume group for each database partition
In a partitioned database environment each database partition must reside on a set of snapshot volumes independent of the other database partitions.
