Starts the DB2 Instance Setup wizard,
which is a graphical user interface (GUI) tool for creating, configuring,
and extending instances.
Authorization
For
root installations, root user authority is required on the system
where the command is issued. For non-root installations, you must
log on with the user ID that owns the non-root installation.

Command parameters
- -i language-code
- Two letter code for the preferred language in which to run the
install. If unspecified, this parameter will default to the locale
of the current user.
- -l logfile
- Writes the log to the file name specified. For root installations,
the path and filename default to /tmp/db2isetup.log.
For non-root installations, the default log file is /tmp/db2isetup_userID.log,
where userID represents the user ID that owns the
non-root installation.
- -t tracefile
- The full path and name of trace file specified by tracefile.
- -r response_file
- Full path and file name of the response
file to use. If you plan to use the GUI interface, do not specify
this parameter.
- -? | -h
- Output usage information.
Usage notes
- The DB2 Instance Setup wizard
provides a subset of the functionality provided by the DB2
Setup wizard. The DB2 Setup wizard
(which runs from the installation media) allows you to install DB2® database components, do system
setup tasks such as DAS creation or configuration, and setup, configure
and extend instances. The DB2 Instance Setup wizard
provides the same functionality as the DB2 Setup wizard
except it does not allow the installation of DB2 database components.
- The DB2 Instance Setup wizard installs all
the required components for the IBM® DB2 pureScale® Feature on
any remote hosts if those components were not installed during the
instance creation or extension.
- The executable file for this command
is located in the DB2DIR/instance directory.
It is available in a typical install, but not in a compact install.
- db2isetup runs
on all supported Linux and UNIX operating systems.
- On AIX® 6.1
(or higher), when running this command from a shared DB2 copy in a system workload partition (WPAR)
global environment, this command must be run as the root user. .
- In a DB2 pureScale environment:
- The DB2 pureScale instance
must be fully stopped on all hosts before being adding or dropping
a member or cluster caching facility (CF.)
- In silent mode, existing hosts of a DB2 pureScale instance
can be used in the following cases (these do not apply to the DB2 Setup wizard):
- To add a second CF to
the DB2 pureScale instance,
update one of the existing members into both a CF and
member host, or add a new host as a CF.
- To add another member to the DB2 pureScale instance,
update the existing CF into
both a CF and
member host, or add a new host as a member.
- You cannot use the db2isetup command to drop
a member or CF.
- There must always be at least one active CF host
in the DB2 pureScale instance.
- When you are creating a DB2 pureScale instance in
a virtual machine (VM), you do not need to specify a tiebreaker disk.
If you do not want to specify a tiebreaker disk, you must use inputas
the tiebreaker disk option value.
