Installation of Tivoli Storage Server on Windows machine which has db2 client

Question & Answer


Question

Is it possible to install Tivoli Storage Server on Windows machine which has already installed db2 client?

Answer

Tivoli Storage Manager 6.3 on-line manual says as below.
Another version's on-line manual also has same information.

http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSGSG7_6.3.4/com.ibm.itsm.srv.install.doc/r_srv_knowfirst.html

Windows Restriction:
You cannot install and run the Version 6.3 or later server on a system that already has DB2 installed on it,
whether DB2 was installed by itself or as part of some other application.
The Version 6.3 or later server requires the installation and use of the DB2 version
that is packaged with the Version 6.3 or later server.
No other version of DB2 can exist on the system.

This restriction also applies db2 client in addition to db2 server.
It is impossible to install Tivoli Storage Server on Windows machine which has already installed db2 client.
