Db2 audit defense field guide.
Db2 carries some of the most contested scope questions in an IBM audit: which edition is deployed, where sub-capacity applies, and what a bundled Db2 entitlement actually permits. This guide maps the defense. Independent and buyer side. Not affiliated with IBM.
What is inside.
- How Db2 PVU counting works and where full-capacity charging is applied by default.
- Sub-capacity compliance for Db2 and the ILMT evidence that protects it.
- Edition scope: where Advanced Enterprise Server Edition entitlements stop and where overreach begins.
- Bundled Db2: the limits on a Db2 entitlement that ships inside another IBM product, and how to defend the scope.
- A worked reconciliation that takes a draft finding back to the entitled position.
Who it is for.
Database leads, software asset managers, and procurement owners running Db2 across virtualized or bundled estates who want the scope defended before the auditor sets it.
