DB2 & mksysb

[tooquic]

I have DB2 installed on it's own VG, but would like to take a mksysb of rootvg. How would this effect DB2, if any? Or maybe a better question would be, how intrusive is mksysb on running processes? Also, what type of compression does mksysb use? I have an extremely large rootvg (50G). Will this fit on a DVD or 2?

Thanks in advance.

You need to reassess your installation. No rootvg should be that large. Your DB2 won't get backed up by a mksysb. It won't fit on a DVD.

Yes, I do understand rootvg is to large, I received it that way. Well, I know DB2 will not be in the mksysb, because its on a different VG, I just wanted to make sure that mksysb wouldn't effect any data that's being sent to the server. My company is a financial services company, so I can't reduce rootvg at this moment, but that is a future project.
