Increase the number of auxiliary standby DB2 11 LUW database instances Merged

During times of high traffic, our client experiences major concurrent access issues on their DB2 platform for an extremely critical and highly-visible client-facing application.  They have the maximum number of instances available: 1 primary, 1 primary standby and 2 auxiliary standbys.

In order to avoid some of the access contention issues, the 2 auxiliary standbys are taking some of the read-only requests (which is the lion's share of the traffic) freeing up the primary to serve the read/write traffic more efficiently.

While the solution is working as planned, we would like to increase the number of auxiliary standbys available to maximize the ability shape traffic appropriately based on the function being called (read/write vs read-only).

As this is one of the most critical application databases at our large enterprise client, many of their end customers are affected during a contention event.  We've seen connections above 6,000 per second and it can easily spike high above that during the highest-traffic times.
